Zach and Alyssa met on a dating app, proving that sometimes swiping right actually works. Alyssa wasn't completely convinced at first, but after their first date at a taco festival in Baltimore on October 16, 2021, Zach managed to change her mind.
From there, things moved pretty quickly. They packed up their lives, moved across the country to Colorado, bought a house in 2025, and started collecting passport stamps and memories along the way. Whether it's a cruise, Oktoberfest in Munich, a trip to Hawaii, or a spontaneous weekend getaway, they're always planning their next adventure.
Of course, no love story would be complete without Arya, Zach's French Bulldog, who quickly became Alyssa's sidekick, cuddle buddy, and arguably the most spoiled member of the family.
With so many of their favorite memories made at sea, it only seemed fitting for Zach to propose on a cruise. It was the perfect start to the next chapter of their adventure together.
