Zac had just arrived home to Cleveland from the holidays. They were both on Bumble, the dating app, and were now within each others radius for searches. They matched and really never stopped talking. He asked Jillian on New Years Eve to go on a date and went that Friday. The next week they went on 2 more dates and just never stopped! The rest was history!

Jillian was finishing up a couple of night shifts and Zac told her that a friend needed some models to promote his photography business. Of course Jillian said yes and was very excited to have some nice pictures taken of them. That morning before pictures, Jillian's sister, Michaela, did her hair and nails. She had no idea what was happening. She truly thought she was just going to take pictures for a friend. At first, they were trying to find good lighting in the woods at Squire's Castle. They were super awkward in their first pictures and Jillian mentioned that maybe they should try different poses. Finally, a "code word" was said and Zac faced Jillian, started saying some very nice things, and got down on one knee. Of course she said "Yes!"
