Brian: "Hi there! Have you met Sarah yet? Let me introduce you to a pretty wonderful person. She teaches French...stay with me.... to high schoolers. If that's not reason enough for sainthood, I don't know what is, amirite? She's also smart, and beautiful, and a steady companion for a faith journey. Likes: Good food and travel, public media, and cats. Dislikes: Mayonnaise, poor use of subjunctive verbs, and waste. She's the sort of person you meet once and want to spend the rest of your life with. I know I did."
Sarah: “When Brian first invited me over for dinner, I was impressed to find that he was wearing a St. Louis Public Radio t-shirt and had prepared boeuf bourguignon. However, I think he sealed the deal even earlier when he told me I reminded him of a Hogwarts professor. I knew I could enjoy spending a life with the kind of guy who’s just nerdy enough to woo a girl with Harry Potter references. When he’s not hanging with his beloved dog Laika or texting me puns from the dad joke channel on Slack, Brian can be found drinking green tea (never coffee), reading, testing new recipes, or playing D&D. He’s brilliant, hilarious, generous, and kind, and I can’t believe I get to share my life with someone so wonderful.”
