Zack and Mel first met when they came upon each other's online dating profiles on Hinge. Mel giggled when she looked through Zack's profile stating he was a regular at Taco Bell, but they connected over a mutual hobby - snowboarding! Zack mentioned that he had hit the slopes that day and bragged about landing his first 180. Mel laughed over the not-so-humble brag, but was impressed enough to exchange phone numbers. They wasted no time before making plans for a first date in downtown Redlands. They had instant chemistry and their relationship blossomed. Through frequent boba runs, snowboarding trips in the mountains, traveling across the country, and late-night drives to Taco Bell, Zack and Mel fell in love.

Zack took Mel to the scenic Catalina Island for a weekend of driving around in golf carts. However, Zack had more than golf carts on his mind. While exploring the scenic cliffs of the island, Zack stopped for a photo opportunity, got down on one knee, and asked Mel to marry him. She said yes, and the rest is history.

Whether it's snowboarding on Mammoth Mountain, or movie night with wings, we enjoy spending time together for all activities big and small. We enjoy trying new restaurants, going to concerts, playing video games, and traveling the world together.
