Their's is a romance born from a time of great sadness and confusion. It wasn't until the dark days following Sept. 11, 2001 that Siobhan and Zack reconnected, when Zack phoned Siobhan, whom he'd met just once, to make sure she was OK. They had met initially in July 2001 while Siobhan was out with a girlfriend celebrating her birthday. Sparks flew then, but for some reason, neither Siobhan nor Zack followed through. After the horror of Sept. 11, 2001, Zack wondered about this woman he'd met so briefly. He knew she lived and worked in lower Manhattan and was anxious to find out how she had weathered that infamous day. After a string of voice-mail messages, they finally set a date to meet.

From that first date, their love story has been filled with passion — for life, travel and food. Zack is a captain at one of New York City's finest restaurants, Atelier Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, Central Park South. So, it's no surprise that his culinary skills helped win Siobhan's heart. But when it came time to plan their wedding, Siobhan wanted to shed 20 pounds. Zack calls her his "beauty" and she wanted to look and feel her most beautiful on one of the most important days of her life.

So with the help of the Buff Brides team, Siobhan transformed her eating habits and kicked up her exercise regimen. She slimmed down her intake of carbohydrates and upped her cardio workouts. Her hard work certainly paid off! She shed 17.5 pounds in just 12 weeks and continues to lose weight.
