Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh

Reception

Sarah + Conrad 

While it may not be what some would consider a "meet-cute," our love story began in a modern, "of the times" way...haha. In other words, we met on Hinge. Our first date in March 2023 was duck pin bowling at Shorty's on the North Shore, followed by snacks at Southern Tier. This was the first time Conrad got a glimpse of my competitive nature, which has only continued to thrive in our relationship. On our second date, we played with my fluffy pup Huck, who had just made his journey to Pittsburgh a day or two prior. Conrad was a natural with Huck, and good thing he was. Huck definitely needed a strong paternal figure. Over the next months, we continued to get to know each other. Conrad would make the trek downtown to my apartment and we would have many late night city adventures. A gal's dream! It wasn't all glamorous though. Conrad quickly showed me what his version of fun was- multiple trips to Home Depot to pick up no less than 40 bags of mulch at a time. I quickly learned how to carry and spread mulch on a steep Pittsburgh hillside- just one of my new skills I am sure will only flourish as we grow old together. Conrad first said "I love you" about six months into our relationship at the end of his family's annual West Virginia trip. Surrounded by beautiful spruce trees, I was filled with joy and told him I loved him as well. Fast forward-Conrad proposed on December 13, 2024. Just a few days prior, I (in typical Sarah fashion) anxiously expressed my concerns over dinner regarding the trajectory of our relationship...were we just going to date forever??? Would I have to spend yet another Christmas without a special someone??? To my surprise Conrad had already taken my friend Brooke out to assist in ring shopping, and had indeed purchased one. So, shortly thereafter I took a random PTO day and went out to breakfast with Brooke. She insisted on picking me up, dropping me off, borrowing some gluten free flour, and carrying an abnormally large bag the whole morning. I thought nothing of any of these things. I would later find out she was in on the surprise and had been carrying her camera with her the entire time. When we arrived home a few hours later, I opened my door to see a long string, rose petals, and a note that read "pull here." As i pulled the string, a curtain fell, and revealed a grand arrangement of flowers, beautiful candles, and vases- a magazine worthy set up arranged by Conrad while I was out. And of course, Conrad was waiting for me there and asked me to marry him. Of course, I said yes, and here were are today!Needless to say, our days together have been full- full of laughter, full of quality time, full of learning, growing, encouraging, and challenging each other. The past two years have taken us to many new places near and far with family and friends.From walks around the city, to hiking in Sedona, and walking across a frozen lake in Banff, we've seen beauty in creation, and beauty in each other. We cannot wait to see what else life has in store for us. The Lord has shown us His goodness and mercy as we have navigated life together, and we know our best days still lie ahead of us. We are so thankful to our families and friends for supporting us, praying for us, and surrounding us with love. We cannot wait to celebrate!!
