Our Wedding

Well, you could say it was Destiny. Their friends would say it was Destiny too. James and Sariah knew of each other from playing the same online game. After playing for a few years together the couple met at a mutual friends Halloween party for the first time. It was the classic case of he saw her, she saw him...and they still lived 1,500 miles away, so nothing happened...YET. After a very fortunate move to Utah on Sariah's part, the couple started hanging out together and hit it off. All their friends could see they were perfect for one another, except for them. Luckily Sariah mustered up the courage to ask James on a date. But fear not my manly men! For James initiated the first kiss! The couple built their relationship on commonalities such as their love for reading, gaming, and general nerdiness. They enjoy spending their time together playing computer games, board games, and watching movies. As well as discovering new recipes to make together (of course with Sariah as the chef and James as the sous chef; He says he is a good padawan, she says sure). Although, their love for cheesy whales often eclipses their love for cooking with one another.... They’re just so yummy! The couple couldn’t be more excited to be married to one another and to share the event with all of you. Here’s to January 27th, 2024!

It's Mine. My Own. My Precioussssss.

Registry

Sariah had a GPS that talked in a British accent, he was affectionately named Sir James as a joke. Future Husband James has yet to imitate said GPS.

James and Sariah went on their first date to a Barnes and Noble. When James proposed he did so in a bookstore as well.

James served his mission with someone Sariah knew from her church in Ohio.

Sariah took James the furthest east he's ever been, although they have plans to get even farther than Ohio some day...

Grandma Warren has a home with a giant Buckeye tree in the front yard. James has passed this tree for at least 20 years not knowing his future spouse was from the state where that tree is very famous (Go Bucks?).

Sariah already has James's last name on her car! Ohio puts the county names on license plates and Sariah happens to be from Warren County. Coincidence...I. Think. Not!
