Chris and Sarah met in May 2021 though church at Legion of Mary, a group centered around doing spiritual acts of mercy for love of Jesus and Mary. Chris was smitten with Sarah when he first saw her at a Legion meeting, immediately asking a member her relationship status, then soon after asking her out. They went on two dates, but Sarah asked that they establish friendship before considering a relationship. Summer passed, Chris texting Sarah often and remaining in the Legion. Fall arrived, and Sarah found herself more at ease around Chris, and found herself developing feelings for him. Once this was admitted over text, more dates quickly ensued. In December they became official, and by February Sarah had decided Chris was the one she wanted to marry. Since his parents were in the area in June, they decided to get engaged then to be able to celebrate with both sets of parents. And so their story began.
