Thank you to everyone who came together to celebrate this wonderful event in our lives. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, we couldn't have done it without all of you! The past couple years have been especially difficult and it means SO much to us that our tribe was able to come together and be with us. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. We love you all so very much! ❤❤

It was the beginning of summer and I (Sarah) had spent the day at the lake with a mutual friend of ours. She said, "Come to dinner tonight, a bunch of my friends will be there. It's going to be huge!" Fast forward a few hours and I arrived unknowingly to a blind double date with her and her boyfriend, Tim, and I, still wearing my sundress and sandals from the lake. By June 27 we were a couple, and we knew right away we were meant for each other. We said our first "I love you" just fourteen days later, on July 10, 2017.

We had spent a relaxing day at home, gone out to a lovely dinner with a close friend of ours, and gone back home. Tim wrapped me in his arms and asked, "Do you know what I want more than anything for Christmas?" I had to tease him, I wouldn't be me if I didn't! "Cereal? Ice cream?" He laughed, then told me, "What I want more than anything is to be able to call you my fiance for the holidays." Tim got down on one knee, pulled out this gorgeous ring, and asked, "Will you marry me?" I cried so much he had to ask me twenty minutes later if I had ever given him an answer. "Yes!" I laughed through my happy tears.
