What began as a spark blossomed into a love story rooted in adventure, deep friendship, and enduring devotion. Sadie May and John’s journey unfolded with laughter, meaningful conversations, and the excitement of a new beginning.

In August 2018, they embarked on their first trip together to Duluth, Minnesota. From the peaks of Colorado to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, their adventures together have been many, each one deepening their bond.

In September 2022, Sadie May moved to Iowa City to pursue her graduate studies. The following Spring, on April 1st, John brought Sadie May back to the very trail they once walked in Duluth. There, surrounded by the same natural beauty that marked the beginning of their journey, on bended knee, he asked her to marry him, and she said, “Yes!”

With full hearts, they now look forward to celebrating with their loved ones. Bound by a shared love for exploration, faith, and life’s little joys, Sadie May and John are ready to begin their next chapter.
