Our Story

Grace and Zack started dating December 23rd, 2019. They would commute the short distance from Stoughton to Janesville and vice versa to see each other.

They enjoy spending time together, going to concerts, date nights, and more. Zack knew Grace was "the one" when she kept coming back to family events and gatherings. 

Zack proposed to Grace at Beckman Mill on July 26th, 2024. Grace said she had absolutely no idea that it was coming!

They're very excited to begin their next chapter surrounded by friends and family, and thank everyone for their utmost support through their relationship.
