Prologue

Zachary Wayne (Hall) Pucillo met Lauren Renee Swain through an internet website called HoosierHookUp.com. They had their first date on July 3rd, 2005. They went to the Indianapolis Zoo then had dinner at Cheeseburger In Paradise. After that they watched 3 movies in a row at Lauren's house. Much to Lauren's surprise, Zach even kissed her that night! It was the beginning of something wonderful!

Zachary asked Lauren for her hand in marriage on October 31, 2005. She said YES and they were married in a "surprise" ceremony at Judy's Wedding Chapel in Greenfield, IN on June 2, 2006 at 7:03pm. Only immediate family was in attendance. The wedding reception was held August 12, 2006 at The Columns ballroom in Greenwood, IN.

Zachary and Lauren knew they wanted children asap and were delighted on January 10, 2007 when they got a positive pregnancy test! The next 9 months were a pleasant surprise to Lauren, who had heard many pregnancy horror stories but was lucky enough to have a normal, healthy, easy pregnany. Zach and Lauren did lots of fun things while the baby was in utero, like go to concerts (The Fray, Nickelback, and The Village People), go on a 7-day Caribbean cruise, go to Colts games, go canoing, and lots more!

Zachary and Lauren decided not to find out the sex of the baby until he/she was born. Unfortunately that only lasted until 39 weeks into the pregnancy (the home stretch!) when the doctor ordered an ultrasound to make sure the baby was head down and that the fluid level was good. Zach and Lauren broke down and asked to know the sex. It's a girl!!!
