We met in 2017 during the summer before our senior year of high school. We connected through social media and got along really well. Zach asked to meet in person for our first date and the rest is history. My favorite thing that was said about how we met was from Zach's dad Jeff. When we told him how we met on twitter he said "twitter > match.com". This has been a running joke for the entire time we have been together, and I even put it on a mug for Zach as a joke.
Zach proposed to Chloe on the beach in Gulf Shores. Zach took Chloe to a romantic dinner and then followed it with a moonlit walk down the beach. During the dinner, our two friends, Rachel and JP, set up light up letters on the beach that said "Marry Me" and then hid where Chloe couldn't seen them to capture the moment. There were a bunch of condo buildings around us where people were sitting on their balconies. When Chloe said yes we could hear them all cheering for us. It was a very exciting and special night!
