Zach and McKenna met in 2023 at a dance hall in San Antonio where she was living at the time that Zach was traveling there for work. Their connection was instant and they decided to bravely pursue a long distance relationship. Over the following year, they met in Houston, Austin, Dallas, and Atlanta to see each other. Then, in May of 2024, Zach was offered a stationary job in Dallas and the two moved into their first apartment together with their pup, Keera. Shortly after, Zach proposed in Irving, TX on the love lock bridge after a gondola ride and chocolate cake (McKenna’s favorite). The two are so excited for the engagement journey and for their forever to start.
