Christian and Sara met in Michigan shortly after Sara moved from Seattle, Washington for a job at Zondervan. After three days in a row of dates, Christian asked Sara to be his girlfriend. One of their favorite things to do together is go on adventures and travel. They’ve been on countless dates to places like amusement parks, beaches, and sports games. Christian has even flown back and forth to Washington with Sara a couple times for a family reunion and Thanksgiving.

Sara and Christian decided to go on a New Years adventure to New York City in the Fall of 2021. After a couple months of planning and lots of Christmas gifts in the forms of snacks, gas money, and hotel reservations, they were finally on their way! They left on the 30th and stopped in Scranton, Pennsylvania for the night, where they enjoyed pizza from Alfredo’s Cafe and drinks from Poor Richard’s Pub, both featured on The Office. After walking around downtown Scranton for a while, the two found a church garden where Christian asked Sara to marry him.
