Zach and Lauren first met in Calculus class during the fall of '04 at the University of Missouri-Columbia. At the time, they were both in serious relationships with other people, thus Cupid had to take a raincheck. Years later, as college graduates and business professionals, the arrow struck.
The young people were re-introduced, through friends of friends, and they eventually went out on their first date. It was a Cardinals game and, somehow, Lauren's aunt managed to tag along for the ride. Nonetheless, Zach and Lauren hit if off and began dating soon thereafter.
One night, during a BBQ at his place, Zach hit the ball far out of the ballpark when he got down on one knee and seranaded Lauren with Garth Brooks' song "Shameless." True to form, Zach performed it in front of all of his assembled dinner guests and friends.
During the winter of '06, Zach fell deathly ill with a Staph infection. Lauren had to skip out on numerous holiday parties and family events in order to be at Zach's bedside in the hospital. It was then when she realized how much her and Zach were meant for each other. Ever since, she says, "we have known that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, and that we would do anything for each other."
