Sara and Scott first crossed paths back in 2012 at a bonfire hosted by their mutual friend (and future officiant), Anthony. For years they were acquaintances, catching up when Scott visited Anthony at Millikin or when Sara was home from college. Sara secretly thought Scott was cute and funny but kept it to herself, while Scott quietly thought the same of her.

Fast forward a few years, the spark caught and on Scott's 21st birthday at the Cubs game, he finally asked Sara on their first date. On June 23rd, 2015, the two started with mini golf which then turned into a movie because neither of them wanted the night to end. That set the tone for the summer, they couldn’t get enough of each other before Scott returned to Nebraska for his senior year. From road trips to music festivals to everyday moments at home, they quickly realized they’d found their person.

Now, after more than a decade together, they’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. In 2019, they took a leap of faith, moving across the country to Colorado where they moved in together for the first time and have called home for the last six years. Sara loves how Scott encourages her to step outside her comfort zone, while Scott loves that with Sara he can be fully himself. Through it all, they’ve found joy in simply being together.

On December 27th, 2024, Scott surprised Sara with a proposal in the Grand Hall of Chicago’s Union Station, surrounded by family. They celebrated late into the night with the people they love most and now can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
