Story
We first met 11 years ago as seniors at Taunton High School. We had mutual friends and started spending lots of time together in social settings. At the time we were both dating other people. The summer before high school graduation was spent primarily at the McDade house sitting poolside. In the fall of 2013 Rachel started Nursing school at Endicott College and Zack began his career in HVAC. We spoke from time to time but went our separate ways to start our lives. In the winter of 2019, Zack reached out and asked Rachel to get dinner. We went to Hong Kong City-- a Chinese food restaurant in Taunton, and the rest is history.
