We first met at the gym in early 2017. After a few months of friendly chatter before and after class, Patrick added Sarah on social media and we began talking through SnapChat. Eventually, Sarah got tired of disappearing texts, and sent Patrick her number. By December 2017, we had our first date set. Sarah always joked that Patrick could propose with a watermelon Ring Pop. On our six year anniversary, we made dinner reservations. Since it was also Grandma Rardin's birthday, Sarah had spent the afternoon with her, then rushed home to get ready for dinner. Patrick had an "early Christmas present" for her under the Christmas tree to open before dinner, which was a watermelon Ring Pop. Unfortunately, it went completely over Sarah's head and she was absolutely shocked when Patrick was down on one knee with a real ring. Through the surprise and tears, Sarah said yes! Which brings us to January 3rd, and we're so excited to celebrate the beginning of our forever with you!
