Our story began in early 2016 at Cornell College. Nick was in his second year and a member of Zeta Tau Psi, Sara joined the "Psi Family" by pledging Beta Psi Eta, and we met at Greek life events. It wasn't long before we joined the ranks of #ZetaBeta couples. Bonding over a love for good food, travel, and spending time outdoors, we made it through college, graduating together in 2018. We had to spend a year apart while Sara attended grad school in England and Nick was in Iowa. But we didn't give up; we reunited in Italy for Christmas, Sara flew home in the spring, and Nick visited England in the summer. When Sara finished her program in 2019, we lived in Iowa for a few more years and added Vesta, our empress and pupper, to our little family. Knowing we didn't want to stay in the Midwest forever, we finally made the move to North Carolina in 2022. We’ve spent the last year traveling around the region, visiting new places, doing new things, and trying amazing food. We started making friends, found new and old activities to enjoy together, and found our community of people. While on a trip to Helen, Georgia, in April 2023, Nick asked Sara to be his wife. Nick managed to get Sara to unknowingly carry the ring around all day; he was very proud that she had no idea. Everyone was so excited for us, but the first reaction from both our sisters was, "FINALLY!" The engagement, our wedding, and the life we're building together are perfectly us: personable, loving, and unique, full of fun, food, and adventure (and occasionally fighting, sword fighting that is ⚔️).
