Sarah and Ian’s story began more than two years ago on a sun-soaked group trip to Ocean City. The moment they met, there was an instant connection—a natural, easy bond that had them deep in conversation long after everyone else had turned in for the night. They stayed up until the early hours, sharing stories, laughter, and realizing how much they had in common. Their first official date took them to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. What was meant to be a simple date turned into a full-day adventure, as they wandered through the exhibits, ate gelato, and sketched on the steps of the Portrait Gallery. Time seemed to slip away, and before they knew it, they had spent an incredible eight hours together, completely immersed in the experience. Two years later, in June 2024, Ian planned a proposal that captured the essence of their relationship—thoughtful, surrounded by friends, and filled with love. Underneath the soft glow of the setting sun at the beach, just miles from where their journey had first begun, he got down on one knee and asked Sarah to spend forever with him. Their journey, filled with art, adventure, and deep connection, has led them to this beautiful chapter. They’re excited to start the next phase of their lives together, surrounded by the people they love.
