We met on a spring night of our 8th grade year. Joe famously attended a conservative Catholic boys school with limited female interaction. Sarah went to public school. Thankfully, Sarah was reluctantly dragged along to one of Joe's school's mixers and the two met for the first time through a mutual friend. The night was full of awkwardly-distanced dancing and staring at each other from across the room. They were instantly smitten. As the night wound down, Sarah got Joe's number on her pink Razor flip phone. The next year or so was full of off-and-on encounters (usually at the mall or the movies) enabled by a ride from one of our parents. We started to formally date in our sophomore year of high school after Joe asked Sarah to be his girlfriend at the Zac Brown Band concert on his birthday. Our wedding has been a long time coming and we're so excited to spend it with you all, the people most important to us.
