How they met

Picture of How they met

Sarah and Luke’s story began on the volleyball court, where they were introduced through mutual friends. Though Sarah wasn’t the most experienced player, Luke always made sure she felt included and had fun. What started as just enjoying each other's company turned into something neither of them expected. Before long, their friends noticed the undeniable chemistry between them. Though it was a bit of a surprise, no one questioned that they were a perfect match.


On October 10th, 2024, Sarah and Luke traveled to Las Vegas, NV to elope. They had a private ceremony between just the two of them and Elvis. With their love for travel and Vegas, this made for the perfect trip to celebrate their love in the way they know best.


Today, Sarah and Luke still love to enjoy good food, drinks, travel, and plenty of laughter together. For their wedding reception, they want to celebrate in the same way with the people they care about most and keep the fun going all night long.

We bought a house!

Many ideas and few started projects later, we still have a long way to go. Our close friends and family know how scarce decorations (and trim) are. In addition, we need new flooring and windows. We would love any support that we can help us in completing our dreams for our first home together.
