Kristen & Zack’s love story began in September 2022 with a simple swipe on the dating app Hinge. Zack had just downloaded the app, while Kristen was debating deleting it altogether—but timing worked its magic. The two quickly connected over their shared love of board games, Disney franchises, national parks, and the value they both placed on family and friends, chatting endlessly about everything that came to mind to keep the conversation going. A month later, they had their first date at the Anaheim Packing House, where neither wanted the night to end. That special evening led to more outings, and by November, they were officially a couple.

Since then, their story has been filled with joy, laughter, and countless memories. From Disneyland trips and national park exploration to Broadway shows, Hollywood Bowl concerts, speakeasies, museums, and even ongoing mini golf battles (where Zack is still chasing his first win), every adventure deepened their connection. But it hasn’t only been about the fun times—they’ve also learned to lean on each other through challenges, big and small, building a relationship rooted in kindness, humor, and trust. They also realized during their talks that their paths could have crossed years earlier at Cal Poly Pomona, where their classes were just steps apart, or at Disneyland, where Kristen worked at Big Thunder Mountain and Zack frequented the park as an annual pass holder. However, life had a bigger plan: bringing them together at the perfect time.

Fast forward to June 2025, when Zack got down on one knee in Yosemite National Park (a place very close to Kristen’s heart). Surrounded by breathtaking views of the falls and Half Dome, he asked the question they had both known the answer to for a long time. She said yes—and now, their next chapter begins.

On April 11, 2026, Kristen & Zack will celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the family and friends who have supported their journey. They cannot wait to share this special moment with you as they say, “I do” and begin their forever.
