Like so many modern love stories, ours began on a dating app.

At the time, we were both just about ready to take a break from dating. But for some reason, Kerry decided to send Zack a message, and for some reason, Zack decided to reply. Before taking that break, we agreed to meet for a drink and some sushi at Yuki and see if there was anything there.

What we discovered was a conversation that never seemed to end.

Over the years, we have shared our days, our frustrations, our hopes, our dreams, our fears, and countless funny things we found online. Through life’s highs and lows, and through seasons when things felt easy and seasons when they felt anything but, we never stopped talking. No matter what challenges we faced, we couldn’t imagine our lives without the other in them.

Then, during a trip to Mexico, something clicked. We went on the trip as two people who cared deeply for one another and returned knowing there was something even greater between us. The bond we had spent years building became something undeniable. Long before the proposal, we both knew on that flight home that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

Looking back, we believe God was guiding our story all along. While it took us a little time to figure it out, He knew exactly what He was doing. He brought us together at just the right time, and we are so grateful that our journey led us to each other.

We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
