Sarah and Cameron’s story began through a shared love of fitness and two very persistent friends. Both of them were fortunate enough to know a mutual friend, Devon, and through an invitation from him — along with Hannah, Sarah’s sister, repeatedly insisting Sarah try CrossFit — she finally decided to drop into the gym one day, never realizing how much that single decision would change her life... From the moment she walked through the doors, she fell in love with the community, the challenge, and the atmosphere. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love with Cameron. At the time, Sarah was intentionally walking through a season of growth, healing, and faith. She had promised herself she wouldn’t pursue a relationship, choosing instead to focus on the person God was shaping her to become. So when she met Cameron, she convinced herself that nothing would ever come from it. But sometimes God writes the sweetest stories when two people least expect it. For weeks, the two circled around each other. Cameron picked on her, and Sarah became convinced he didn’t like her at all. Finally, with her boldness, she walked right up to him and asked him directly if he hated her. To her surprise, he admitted the opposite was true — he had only been picking on her because he actually liked her. Messing with her, apparently, was his defense mechanism. Not long after, Sarah posted a picture of Cameron’s dog Gucci on social media. Cameron will always insist it was intentional. Sarah will probably deny it forever. Either way, it worked! That night, Cameron found his way into her DMs, and the conversation that followed would become the beginning of everything. He tried his best to impress her, talking about his equipment, his tree work, and life at the family farm, while Sarah remained completely unaware that she was supposed to be impressed at all. Instead, what caught her attention most was his honesty. Somewhere between stories about work and laughter, Cameron opened up about every mistake, every failure, and every imperfect part of himself. And in that vulnerability, Sarah saw the kind of heart she had been praying for all along. One date quickly turned into a love neither of them could walk away from. Their story has not been perfect, but through every season — the beautiful and the difficult alike — they have continued choosing each other again and again. Together, they have learned that real love is not found in perfection, but in grace, patience, forgiveness, and unwavering faith. Through it all, they know God was gently weaving their paths together long before either of them could see the full picture. “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” — Mark 10: 8-9 Now, hand in hand, they step into forever, grateful for the story God wrote for them, and even more grateful they get to live it side by side.
