Overview
- Zach Zarembinski proposed to Isabelle Richard at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where both were treated for traumatic brain injuries in 2018.
- The surprise was revealed when a white backdrop dropped to show a red floral heart reading "Will you marry me?" as relatives and hospital staff looked on.
- They first connected at the hospital after Zarembinski’s interview aired in Richard’s room while she was still in a coma, which reassured her family.
- Both were placed in medically induced comas after separate accidents days apart in 2018 and underwent surgeries that removed skull sections on opposite sides.
- The families stayed in touch for years, met for dinner in 2024 that led to dating, and the couple later shared their recovery journey through their podcast.
