Autumn Ballard casually met Zachary Gargano at Grand Haven High School in 2013 but that’s all they were—-just acquaintances. In 2016, they met again & at that time, both worked at Jet’s Pizza where the relationship blossomed over pepperoni and cheese! By 2017, they were madly in love and officially a couple! Over long chats & conversations, they discovered they wanted the same things in life and their personalities jived & complemented each other completely! They went through life’s ups & downs and some 9 years later, Zach proposed on July 30, 2024, just before they attended a “Still Woozy Band” concert in Detroit, Michigan! Among the many activities they enjoyed doing together, attending concerts was high up on that list! The couple booked The Little Red Barn of Nunica, LLC later that fall and in the spring of 2026, on June 20th, they finally married! Their intimate wedding was attended by the closest of family & friends, much to the delight of Autumn’s parents, Darrell & Christine Ballard & Aunt Michelle! May their special union bring nothing but a lifetime of love, laughter and happily ever afters! (Photo courtesy of Viki Stark)❤️
