Music seems to weave through our lives and tie everything together. This seems very evident to Sarah and I. It is why we chose the tickets for the save the dates and it is why there are several references to bands/acts that are important to us in this passage.

It turns out that I found my heart in Tulsa on the corner of Easton and Main on the Cain’s Ballroom floor. I just didn’t know it for several years to come. Sarah and I were introduced by her sister Abby, who I was in medical school and residency with at the time. It took years for Sarah and I’s relationship to bloom from casual acquaintances with similar tastes in music to the love that has us putting this website together and building a life together. Life often gives us hurdles, and things happen on God’s time.

Fast forward a decade and a half, and both of us were at points in our life where something more than just friendship had a chance to develop, and others noticed this too. Sarah’s brother-in-law, Chris, and her sister, Abby, took up the match-making game. Sarah came to Wild Brew, and we got to know each other a little better there. I spent a weekend with Chris and Abby, and Sarah and I got to go on our first date, September 24, 2022.

We started seeing each other more frequently after that, but we were kept apart and connected by the stretch of road, so there weren’t many weekends where one of us was not driving to see the other. Sarah introduced me to Brody, Bre, and Charley. They all became a huge part of my life, and one that I couldn’t see not being in my life. This became even more obvious to me when Sarah was having to trade every other week living in Norman as we tried to get it to where Brody could be enrolled in school here. I was ready to stop being a Telephone Romeo, and I was Sick and Tired of them not being here full-time.

I proposed to Sarah with a well-designed, but I would say poorly executed plan. Sarah disagrees with me and says it was great. Feel free to ask for the story if you want to know. At least the lobby of the Mayo Hotel is beautiful and most importantly, she said Yes!

We will be so happy to have you join us as we celebrate going forward as you have been part of our Yesterday Road, and we want you to share in the next chapter of our Love Story.

Thank you and we can’t wait for December 14th,

John and Sarah
