We met through a mutual friend, Chris Scarberry. We talked for 3 weeks on the phone and online, then eventually met up to play pool at Hudsons. It didn't take long for us to fall for each other. I (katie) played hard to get for a while but Zak won me over with his humor and sneaky ways to get me to hang out, like leaving his car at hudson so i had to take him the next day. We never thought we would be here today but, even through the hard times we can make each other smile and we never go to bed angry.

Zak as you know is in the army and leaves constantly. I was worried how that would result in our relationship and so was he. After two months of being gone from me for training he realized, he couldn't find anyone better and that he missed me so much it hurt. Life without each other is unimaginable. We are just perfect for each other and I don't just mean because all of our fights are basically about who ate whoms food :)!! I have never been happier and couldn't ask for a better partner and best friend! 

 We are funding this wedding by ourselves and can not afford a honeymoon. Zak has never been to the beach and growing up the ocean was a big part of my life . I want to be the first one he experiences this new adventure with. Plus, after him being gone most of 2014 we need a romantic get away! We hope to have all wedding gifts donated towards our honeymoon thank you for your love and support it means the world as we start our new lives as husband and wife!
