The happy couple met in nursing school at Texas A&M University. One day during the first semester Hannah wore a Wisconsin t-shirt which sparked their first conversation since Zach is originally from there. They didn't talk much during the first year of school, but as they started having more group projects together, a friendship began to form. During the second year of school Hannah, Zach and Alex formed a study group called the Tres Enfermeros and Zach and Hannah's friendship continued to grow strong. Pretty soon they started hanging out more frequently and one day while driving to a friends house Hannah put an Eminem song on and began rapping it word for word. Zach was very impressed by this and began rapping along with her. From then on their commonalities became more apparent and they started really enjoying each other's company which lead to them hanging out every single day. Eventually Zach decided to take his chances and step outside of the friendzone by asking Hannah out on a date. Hannah said "okay" and the rest is history...

The day before Valentine's day Zach asked Hannah if she wanted to go on a date at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. During this conversation, Zach's plan went into effect when he slyly mentioned stopping at the Fort Worth Water Gardens beforehand since it was on the way. After walking around admiring the Water Gardens the couple sat together at the bottom of the active water area and enjoyed the peacefulness of the rushing water. After a short while Zach, looked Hannah in the eyes and started talking about how much she means to him and how special their relationship is. Hannah's face lit up as she knew what this conversation was leading to. Zach then stood up, got down on one knee, and asked the most important question of his life. The answer of course was YES!

June 18th, 2018. Zach and Hannah went on their first date. August 10th, 2018. They graduated from Texas A&M University together and moved away from College Station. They both took celebratory trips: Zach went on a cruise with his mom and Hannah traveled to Europe with two of her closest friends. Sept. 10th 2018. Hannah started her job at BUMC ER in Dallas and thus the long distance relationship began. They spent 21 months traveling between Austin and Dallas to see each other every 1-3 weeks until Hannah finally moved to Austin in June 2020!
