Our Story

We met on March 3rd 2007 at Zach's church and it was truly love at first sight. We talked every night on the phone that following week and had our first date on March 10th. I Erin recall being extremly nervous and full of butterflies waiting on Zach to pick me up. On our first date we went to a local church for a young adults service they where having. After the service we went to Outback for dinner. I remeber Zach was complaing about something and I told him he whined too much (he later told me how shocked he was knew that when I said that, that things would not work out at all, or that it would be great relationship, guess it was the latter). At that point I knew Zach would be a big part of my life but denying that we would actually get married. I went on a cruise with my family for spirng break that following Monday and talked to Zach all the way out to sea. We both missed each other like crazy. Talking to Zach and being with him was like being with someone I had always known and Zach felt the same way. Well, our relationship grew and things moved quickly and we knew we wanted to be together forever, so, om April 7th 2007 Zach and I decided to get marrried. We had alot of changes in our lives, from changing jobs, to no jobs, to me, Erin, being hospitalized only 2 weeks before our wedding with a severe kidney infection. Being the stubborn person I am had to trust my at the time future husband to help me move around. Though, it was only a few months we finally made it down the aisle to say I do and our wedding was wonderful. We both cried through our vows though we tried hard not to, it was the best day of our lives. Now, we are just enjoying married life, working out the kinks, planning for the future, and loving every minute we get to spend together.

Erin's Story

I was raised in Birmingham, Al. I have two brothers, my older brother is Alan and my younger brother is Philip, I'm the only girl.
My parents

My brothers
I home schooled ffrom the 6th grade to the 12th. I took my 11th and 12th grade courses together and graduated Highschool at 16. I then went to school at Jefferson state and majored in pre-nursing. I the transferred to the University of South Alabama and majored in Nursing.

Graduation day
I now work at USA Children's and Women's Hospital in the Neonatal ICU. It is a challenging Job but I love it. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else. It's amazing to see something as small as 9oz fight so hard, and have such a strong will to live.

I had just got out of a relationship that was not good for me in anyway when I met Zach. I knew a few weeks before I met him that something was missing in my life. I prayed and asked God to help me fill this void that I felt. I began to seek his face more that ever. He never let me know what the void was that I felt but I knew as soon as I found it I would know. A friend of mine who is also a good friend of Zach's told me that she was coming down to help Zach out with a youth program at his church. I told her she could stay with me and that she came down I went and met her at Zach's church and as soon as I saw him the butterflies started. I talked to him on the phone the next day and all that week. It was truly love at first sight. I knew that first week that I was going to marry him even though I denied it like crazy. So, now the story of us begins!
