Sarah’s Perspective:

It was the fall of 2017, Sarah had graduated from UW Whitewater earlier that spring, moved back to Milwaukee and was looking for an extra curricular activity. While having dinner with her Aunt and Cousin, she learned that her Cousin was playing Ultimate Frisbee and their pod was looking for an extra girl to join their team. Sarah immediately said yes and showed up to the game the following week.

Jack’s Perspective:

Jack immediately recognized that this girl on the other team was fast, but it wasn’t until her third consecutive point he realized he needed to meet her. Jack had been playing in the league for multiple years and didn’t recognize her so he was hopeful that she was new to the league and didn’t have a team yet. A few weeks later they were paired together and Jack broke the ice commenting on her UW-Whitewater sweatshirt, sharing that he was an Alumni to which she replied “oh - you’re old.” Good ol boy Jack wasn’t deterred - he rebounded and scored her digits.

Story continues…

Fast forward a few months and Jack’s persistence had paid off! Sarah agreed to sign up with Jack for Winter season (Yay!). However, Sarah shared that her then boyfriend wasn’t too pleased that she was coupled up with a boy and she bailed that season (bummer!).

Fear not good reader - Jack’s persistence continued despite being twice thwarted. Jack’s Ultimate team was always in need of female team members. He reached out the next season (Spring 2018) and Sarah was very excited to join. So excited that she also shared that her ex-boyfriend was no longer in the picture. Hallelujah good reader - Sweet sweet hallelujah the stars were aligning!

Jack and Sarah covertly began seeing one another over that spring. By summer their connection had blossomed into a full fledged relationship! They spent nearly every free minute of the day with one another - making memory after memory. They began adventuring pretty quickly; from the countless nights of Summerfest, to vacationing with friends in Nashville, to weekending in the Dells, to Nerf War birthday parties, to endless nights at Camp bar, where Sarah cocktail waitressed in the evenings.

Jack shared pretty early on that he intended to leave the great state of Wisconsin. He knew he needed to scratch the nomadic itch instilled and nurtured from his mother, but more importantly he needed to prove to himself that he could do it. To his complete surprise, Sarah was open to the idea of moving out of state as well as she was seeking a change in her career. We started to scope out potential new states to call home and traveled coast-to-coast before deciding on Colorful Colorado as both of us knew we wanted more sunshine and Mountains.

Fast forward 7 years later, with Colorado quickly feeling like home. They bought their first house, rescued a Golden Retriever named Lyla, and got engaged (YAY!).

Our story continues in Cancun, Mexico, celebrating our wedding with all of the wonderful people that have shaped us into who we are today. See you all in Feb 2026!
