Sarah and Joel’s story began thanks to a close-knit group of friends who knew they’d be a perfect match. Sarah met Ginger through their lines of work and quickly became great friends. Joel had already met Zach and Presley at church. Ginger and Dylan and Zach and Presley had been close friends since college and were hoping Sarah and Joel would hit it off and end up together.With that hope in mind, they arranged a “casual” pickleball game with friends as a way for Sarah and Joel to meet. After pickle-ball and dinner, Joel asked Sarah for her number and to coffee. Calling her the next night, they instantly connected. That one call led to many more nightly, hours-long conversations.Joel asked Sarah out for the following weekend, and when their first official date finally arrived, it lasted twelve unforgettable hours. From that moment on, Sarah and Joel were inseparable. Surrounded by the friends who brought them together and guided by perfect timing, they quickly realized they had found something truly special — and the rest is history.
