"Our story is very... serendipitous"

In December 2021, Sara moved to Nashville on whim after starting a new job that allowed her to work remotely. The two were introduced by a mutual friend of theirs, Lanie, whom Sara had met in her first post-grad job in Phoenix, back in 2019. They stayed in touch throughout the years, so when Sara was looking to move to Nashville and Lanie was looking for a roommate, it felt as if it were meant to be. Shortly after settling in, Sara was introduced to Lanie's friend group, where she met Brian. They spent time together as friends first, but quickly grew a deep friendship and love.

"I had this indescribable, overwhelming feeling that he was the one" Sara shared.

On January 13, 2022 the couple had their first "official" date at Ember's Ski Lodge in Sara's neighborhood at the time, 12 South. They talked for nearly five hours before realizing that they were one of a few others left at the bar as it began to close for the night. This is typically where the story ends and, "the rest is history" but the couple went on to share more about their relationship. It's full of sweetness, love, joy, admiration for one another, and true friendship.

"She is the sweetest, most genuine soul I've ever met in my life" Brian said.

Fast forward to September 7, 2023, Brian convinced Sara that they were meeting Brian's client and their wife for dinner that night. Before dinner, they would stop at Cumberland Park, which overlooks the Nashville skyline. Sara, keeping an eye out for the client and wife, was totally surprised and thrilled when Brian got down on one knee and proposed. Of course, she joyfully said "yes!".

"It's fun to reminisce on our relationship thus far. There are so many moments where we recognize God's presence in our lives, both individually and as a couple. We say the story of how we met is serendipitous, but it's really a true testament to God's faithfulness." The couple explained.

Together, they enjoy playing golf, going on walks with their lab puppy, Ridge, and trying new recipes at home or restaurants around the city.

They're counting down the days until they say "I do!", and can't wait to welcome family and friends to Nashville, some for their first time!
