Aaron and Sarah first crossed paths in the most romantic place imaginable: the apartment parking lot—twice as magical because it was her apartment parking lot. Aaron had arrived to pick up his son for a few days together, and Sarah, who already adored the little guy as a neighbor, found herself sitting in her car debating whether to wave… or hide.

She chose to step out, walked right up to Aaron, shook his hand firmly, and asked if she could “love on his son before he left.” He said yes. The rest, as they say, is beautifully chaotic history.

From the longest first date buzzing with conversation to a whirlwind of months that turned into dating, and then into an engagement—these two have been living in fast-forward with full hearts.

A chance meeting in a parking lot turned into a story neither of them could have picked or planned. Truly meant to be from that moment.
