Our Wedding

Sarah was a small town girl, born and raised in Kahuku, Hawaii. Corey was a city boy, growing up in Cave Creek Arizona. We were worlds apart, but destiny had its way. As we left our homes behind, and found our paths that day. We both attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and shared many mutual friends, but fate didnt bring us together until after graduation, when we both found ourselves working at the Army Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona. It was there that a mutual college friend of ours, Chester, came to visit on a work trip and invited us both to dinner at a local taco truck where we were officially introduced. After a few run ins around town and simple conversations on Facebook, Corey invited Sarah to a haunted house for Halloween. What began as friendship soon turned into something more, and on November 13, 2012, we became something irreplaceable to each other. Together, we built a life filled with adventure, laughter, dogs, and countless memories. In 2022, atop the breathtaking heights of Angels Landing in Zion National Park, Corey surprised Sarah with a proposal, making that moment even more unforgettable. Then, in 2023, we embarked on a new chapter in Kaua’i, where we found a fixer-upper home to transform into our dream oasis—a place where, for years to come, we'll continue to craft our perfect life together.
