Molly & Zach in Kansas City, MO

Even though she was dressed in gym clothes and sporting a post-workout glow, Molly managed to make a fabulous first impression on Zachery (Zach). She was a sophomore at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and he was attending the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs when they met at the apartment of mutual friends. The two chatted for only a few minutes that night but swapped info and kept in contact for the rest of the semester. The Bride Molly Ramey The Groom Zachery (Zach) Richter The Date October 14 They had their first date on Molly’s first day back to school from winter break. I had never been so excited to go back to school from a break, she says. Three years later, while vacationing in Maui with Molly’s family, Zach proposed during a barefoot walk along the beach. They married in early autumn, just before sunset, in Molly’s grandparents’ backyard.
