Zach and Katie’s story kicked off in the fall of 2015, when Zach walked into his first math class at Moultonborough Academy after moving from Rhode Island. He took a seat next to Katie, and little did they know that this would be the start of something special. With plenty of mutual friends in the mix, it didn’t take long for them to hit it off. Zach had a knack for teasing Katie just right, always trying to make her laugh. Their playful banter quickly turned into a solid friendship, and they spent a lot of time together that spring and summer, sharing inside jokes and countless adventures. The big moment came on September 11, 2016, at Castle in the Clouds, where Zach, surrounded by soft tealight candles, asked Katie to be his girlfriend. It was sweet and a bit romantic—everything you’d hope for when starting a new chapter. During high school, they danced the night away at three proms, making memories that still bring smiles. They love to explore together, traveling to places like Mexico, Hawaii, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Africa, and Great Britain. Always up for an adventure, they can never just sit around for too long—whether hiking a trail or tasting new foods, they thrive on new experiences. Fast forward to December 2023, and they took another leap by buying a house together. They rolled up their sleeves and dove into renovations, working to turn their new house into a place that will one day be a cozy home filled with love and laughter. Zach and Katie are high school sweethearts and soulmates who bring out the best in each other, making every day an adventure worth sharing.
