Our Dating Story...

1. Where did you meet?

Zach and I have different stories... He says we met at the Dickersons game night and I say we met at the Burnhams game night. I know I am right though because I specifically remember Zach walking into the Burnhams living room and I thought he was SO CUTE! I got really nervous.

2. What was the first thing you said to him?

For like 5 months Zach and I didnt talk.I probably said " HI" and introduced myself but we didnt really talk. I think Zach started our first conversation when he said I looked like a girl he went to China with so he insisted on taking a picture with me so he could send it to her. I think he just wanted to get close to me.

3. Where was your first date?

Zach asked for my number(even though he had already gotten it from our friend Tyler) at The Singles Halloween Dance Party. We went out the next week. I was so nervous before he came that I had to lay underneath my ceiling fan and drink water. We went over to his friend Collins house and played games. We did this thing where we were given items and we were supposed to do a video about that thing. Zach and I got turtles so we sang" Part of your World" and changed the words so it had something to do with our turtles. Zach has an amazing voice.

4. Where was your first kiss?

I am extremely embarassed about this... I promise I didnt take him here so it would be romantic and then want to kiss me. Zach and I went hot tubbing and had our first kiss there... I promise I just wanted to go hot tubbing!

5. How long did you date?

we dated 6 months, got engaged, married 3 months later. On the hottest day of August!!!

6. Where did you get engaged?

Zach proposed on his 23rd Birthday. We went out to eat with his parents at the Landmark for his birthday. Mom and dad Vance left early and I seriously thought his family didnt even love him. Birthdays in my family are big deals and thought for sure his family was the same. After they left a Cake lit with Candles came to our table and in my head I was like oh how cute they surprised him with a cake. The waitress put the cake in front of me and I looked down and it said " Will you marry me Whitney". Completely in shock I turned to Zach where he was down on one knee.

7. When were you married?

We were married on August 10,2006 in the Mesa AZ Temple. I didnt sleep more than 2 hours the night before because I was so nervous... so ultimately I was sick the day of my wedding. Yah I know ridiculous. I completely worked myself up to nausea. I cried all morning and gagged too. Mom had to talk me into going to the Temple. I knew I was supposed to marry Zach I just freaked out for a little bit. Im not good with change.

8.How did your reception go?

After we got married , my inlaws planned a wonderful luncheon where our families went through and told us how much they loved us. My nephew Denmark even sang me a song which was so cute. Our Reception...Could there have been anymore people? I planned for 300 or so and I swear it was like 600 people! The line was forever and I was so hungry. BUT The Dance Party at the end... WAS FANTASTIC!!We had so many people but we were so thankful for everyones love and support.

9. How was your honeymoon?

For our honeymoon we went on a cruise. We had a couple of days before we left so we played around with family and spent time together. Our cruise was fun... we went to Key West, Cozumel and Belize City. With all you can eat all the time Zach and I were in heaven. We thought though that it would have been better to have people there with us because when you out to sea there wasnt much to do on the boat. So a couple of weeks later we went to Disneyland for our second Honeymoon.
