It all began in the spring of 2015, at the Square One Mall Hollister in Saugus, MA. Sara had just been transferred as the new store manager and found herself running late on the very first day. As she rushed towards the entrance , she saw Christian, waiting patiently for her arrival. Sara vividly recalls this moment —how she felt an instant spark of attraction towards Christian, drawn to his kind demeanor. Yet, knowing she was his manager and a few years older, she assumed these feelings would be fleeting.

As spring gave way to summer, their time spent together grew. Having to work together often, they discovered how much they had in common with each other, and connected at a closer level. By fall, their bond had deepened into something undeniable. One October night, Sara made the first move on Snapchat, inviting Christian out for drinks. That night marked the beginning of their unforgettable journey together.

Early on, their Saturdays were often spent driving through greater Boston Christian’s Jaguar XK, setting the stage for countless adventures. From Puerto Rico to the Cape, from North Conway to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, they created a tapestry of cherished memories. In 2017, they took a significant step by renting their first apartment together, and for the next four years, they floated around the Boston area, each move weaving them closer.

A pivotal moment came in 2019 when their close friends Shan and Kenny invited them to Austin for their wedding. Captivated by the city’s infectious energy, Sara and Christian felt an immediate connection. Two years later, in 2021, they took a leap of faith and moved to Austin. What began as a temporary adventure quickly turned into a permanent stay when they stumbled upon a house that captured their hearts.

Now, with their new home and their best buddy Luke, they have formed a perfect little trio, feeling immensely grateful for where they are.

As they approach nearly nine years together, they’ve navigated both the peaks and valleys of life. These experiences have forged an unbreakable bond, deepening their love, devotion, and friendship.

From that first glance at Hollister to today, their connection has only grown stronger. Now, they eagerly anticipate celebrating their love with their most cherished friends and family, ready to embark on the next chapter of their story.
