Zachary and I first started talking in early June of 2019. We had met on "match" and continued talking for about a month when we set a date to meet. In early July we met for dinner at the Rail Penny Tavern in Epping, NH. Zach and I hit it off right away and the rest is history!
In August Zach and I planned a weekend away on a lake in Ware, NH to celebrate our anniversary. We were so excited to get away, just the two of us and be on the water. So I was surprised when he insisted that my parents come up for a kayak on that Saturday. My parents came up on Saturday and we had a lovely kayak around the lake. When we got back to the cottage Zach insisted that we dress up. Little did I know while we were changing my dad was sneaking around and setting up the proposal site! Zachary had handmade a beautiful sign that spelled out "will you marry me" in my favorite flower, the sunflower. When we were all done getting ready Zach led me out to the end of the dock and got down on one knee. I was in complete shock! The neighbors around us cheered us on and my parents popped a bottle of champagne! It was the perfect surprise!
