McKenzie and Zac first crossed paths at a wedding in 2021 — a brief moment that left an impression, but life took them in different directions. A few years later, fate stepped back in, and they reconnected for a dinner date in January 2024. One date turned into two, and by their third, Zac invited McKenzie to his sister’s wedding in Gatlinburg. It was there, surrounded by celebration and mountain views, that things really clicked. Not long after, Zac left for baseball season, and McKenzie made the most of every chance to visit. Their time apart only brought them closer, and when he returned home, they picked up right where they left off — stronger than ever. Just over a year into their relationship, while visiting Zac’s parents in Houston, he asked McKenzie to marry him. She said yes, and now they’re so excited to start this next chapter together — and to celebrate with all of you!
