Our Story

~How We Met~

Zach and I met in the fall of 2018 on the campus of Birmingham-Southern College. I had already graduated the previous spring and began making my home in Birmingham. A friend called and invited me back to campus for an event. Even though BSC was a small school, it wasn't until that evening that Zach and I were formally introduced. After Zach graduated, he took a job in Atlanta, and so began our long distance relationship. Finally in May 2020, I made my own move to Atlanta and the rest is history.


~The Proposal~

In October 2021, Zach and I visited friends in Boston. One night before dinner, he suggested we walk along the river to watch the sunset. I was distracted by some birds and didn't realize he was no longer beside me. Zach called my name and I turned to see him down on one knee! To add to my surprise, our friends popped out of the bushes. Not only did they photograph everything - they also brought champagne so we could celebrate on the spot! Boston will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
