Lydia Plath‘s path from first meeting to marriage moved fast — even by reality TV standards.
The Welcome to Plathville star met Zac Wyse at a Colorado church in August 2024, and they got engaged by that December. Plath and Wyse said “I do” at the bride’s family farm in Georgia after less than six months of dating.
Scroll below to see how Lydia and Zac’s faith-centered relationship unfolded on and off camera:
August 2024
Lydia, one of the daughters of exes Barry and Kim Plath, met Zac at a church in Colorado. She told cameras on Welcome to Plathville that she knew he was The One almost immediately.
“Zac and I had only been dating for 16 days when we both knew that we had found our forever,” Lydia said, citing signs that they “couldn’t have orchestrated.”
Zac asked Lydia to be his girlfriend on September 4, 2024. Marking the anniversary in September 2025, she wrote on Instagram: “2 years ago Zac asked me to be his girlfriend💞 and we’ve been married for a year and a half of those 2 years!”
October 2024
Lydia first teased the relationship on Instagram in October 2024, sharing a photo of their held hands for National Boyfriend Day. She made things Instagram official in November 2024, writing, “Words can’t describe how grateful I am the Lord has brought you into my life!”
December 2024
Zac popped the question in December 2024, with Lydia captioning the announcement: “A million reasons to say YES to the love of my life!❤️💍 @zaclwyse you’re a gift from the Lord!🤍.”
Her father, Barry, also gave Wyse his blessing.
During the season 7 premiere of Welcome to Plathville, Barry said he had “peace” after speaking with God about the relationship. Her brother Ethan Plath, however, was less convinced about the pace.
“You meet a guy for three months and you tell me you’re going to get married?” Ethan told his sibling on the show. “It doesn’t make sense.”
February 2025
The couple wed on February 22, 2025, on the Plath family’s Georgia farm in front of 115 guests. Seven of Lydia’s eight siblings attended, including Ethan. The couple shared their first kiss ever at the altar.
“The discipline it has taken to save our first kiss for the wedding day is an example of the commitment we have for each other going into our marriage,” Zac told People.
May 2025
The couple initially settled in Tallahassee, Florida. On the May 19, 2025, episode of Welcome to Plathville, Lydia confirmed to a friend that she and Zac didn’t wait a week after their wedding to have sex.
“It was so beautiful,” she said of her wedding night. “It’s just so perfect and so God-centered and so just honoring.”
Around the same time, Lydia also pushed back on fan speculation that Zac had pulled her away from her relatives. “My husband didn’t ‘take me away from my family.’ He brought me home,” she wrote on Instagram.
Later that month, Lydia and Zac settled in Colorado, where they met.
“We made it to Colorado!!!💛🏔️ I’m so grateful for the 15 months we spent in Tallahassee and close to my family but Colorado has always had my heart,” Lydia wrote on Instagram.
As Lydia and Zac navigated their first year of marriage, they told Us the following August that they were “still playing it by ear” about having kids.
“We’re definitely waiting, though, because we want to know each other,” Zac said. “We also want to prepare for something like that. We don’t want to just jump in.”
October 2026
Lydia revealed on Instagram that she had suffered a miscarriage with the couple’s first baby, ending up hospitalized.
“I ended up in the hospital as I was having the miscarriage. It was a really traumatic experience as I was hemorrhaging and bleeding to the point of passing out,” she wrote. “I got an emergency D&C and a blood transfusion and I’m recovering well.”
She added, “There’s no words for the pain as we grieve the loss of our little angel. Our first child, our greatest love, and a true miracle.”
