Our Story

Taylor and Zach met on Hinge and had their first date in March 2022 at the Granfalloon on The Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. Taylor ordered her favorite beer, a pint of Guinness, which immediately impressed Zach. As they got to know each other, they quickly discovered they had both graduated from the Wentzville School District and shared the same alma mater, Truman State University. Throughout their relationship, they have enjoyed attending many sporting events together—go Chiefs, Cardinals, Blues, St. Louis CITY, Mizzou, Huskers, TSU Bulldogs, and Real Madrid! They also love traveling and have visited Hawaii, Boston, New York City, Mexico, Colorado, Detroit, Chicago, Disney World, Las Vegas, Gulf Shores, Omaha, and Lincoln as a couple. Taylor taught Zach how to ski, which has become one of their favorite activities to do together. Taylor came into the relationship with her dog, Sophie, whom Zach quickly fell in love with—along with Taylor. In March 2025, Taylor and Zach bought a house together in Lake Saint Louis, where they have enjoyed summers on the lake and winters tackling home improvement projects. In September 2025, they took a spontaneous trip to Cancun, Mexico, where Zach proposed—and Taylor said yes!
