How We Got Here

  1. Lagomorphic friends

    The first hello

    Cat and Zach met through friends Kaylin Allshouse and Maddie Lockyer at a rabbit's birthday bash.

  2. Six months later

    63 E 14th St

    It wasn't until 6 months later that they truly hit it off at a party that Zach and his roommates were throwing at his OSU apartment. They bonded through a shared love of cooking, travel, good books, and better friends. They still can't agree on who made the first move, but they do know that life has been more colorful ever since.

  3. Franklin Park Conservatory

    The question

    Fast forward through four and a half years, a move to Washington, DC, two graduate degrees, multiple international trips, and two adopted cats: Zach proposed to Cat at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, OH. While the proposal itself might not have been a surprise, getting to celebrate afterwards with family and friends certainly was.
