Zac & Joan met in March 2019 at a Baylor Zeta Date Dash event. Thankfully, one of Joan’s friends knew about the surprise event beforehand and asked Zac to come as Joan's date. After this first meeting, they ran into each other at other Baylor events and Zac eventually asked Joan on a date to a museum and the finest dining establishment- Texas Roadhouse. From then on they were inseparable, finding any chance to hangout together whether that was studying at Moody, watching basketball (specifically Spurs vs. Nuggets), or eating together in the dining halls. Zac asked Joan to officially be his girlfriend in May 2019! Over the next 3 years of college we went to countless date parties, football games, and on various trips. We have been so fortunate to travel to Gulf Shores, Destin, Austin City Limits, Vail, Key West, New Orleans, New York, Boston, Hawaii, and all over Texas and Colorado together. In August 2022, we moved to Iowa City for Zac to start law school! After a year of living in Iowa City, we decided that we wanted to adopt a puppy, so we traveled to San Augustine, Texas to pick up our sweet Penland (Penny), named after Penland Hall, our freshman dorm at Baylor. And in April 2024, Zac asked Joan to marry him in Joan's hometown, San Antonio. We can’t wait to see what’s next in our story- we love y’all!
