What began as a simple "lets get drinks!", turned into driving through a swarm of mosquitoes, an epic Halloween couple costume, and raising two boys. On July 6th, 2015 we began our Journey with a few simple pint glasses and great conversation. Now our Journey has brought us to this next step and we are excited to share this beginning with all of you. So let's get it started.
The proposal takes place where it all began , The Paymaster Lounge in Portland. Jered has a knack for holding on to special items and just happened to still have the receipt from their first date. So naturally why wouldn't you go back to said spot and secretly hand the old receipt to the bar tender and ask him to hand that receipt to Sage when we go to pay? No Brainer Right? It didn't quite go as planned because the bartender who was in on it happened to be very busy. So Sage decided to flag down another bartender to get the bill. Jered watched the confused look on the new bartenders face as she grabbed his credit card with two receipts and discarded the old tattered one on the counter, he thought "well I guess I will just propose on the side walk." But to his luck their friend Sarah was there to save day. She was able to get the original bartender to swoop in with the old receipt as Sage was starting to think Jered was having issues figuring out a 20% tip on a $20 dollar bill. Then to Sage's bewilderment there were two checks. As she turned asking "Did you not pay our tab on our first date?", Jered was down on one knee with Sage's ring.
