We both worked together at Echo Global Logistics downtown Chicago, and met at our office summer party. Introduced by a mutual friend, we instantly connected. Sarah asked Rob if he wanted to go to a friend's birthday party, who Rob also knew from work, the next evening. Sarah was of course running 30 min late, but was not aware it was a sit down dinner with her friends family! The moment we entered, we realized they had been waiting for us to order. It was a pretty awkward first date (especially when we went out for drinks after and Rob made Sarah split the check!) but for some reason, it just felt right. We started dating, and the rest is history!

After weeks of trying to surprise Sarah with a date to pop the question, Sarah's work kept interfering. Rob finally scheduled time on her calendar, only for Sarah to cancel last minute due to a meeting at 9pm! Finally, Rob succeeds and takes Sarah and Kole to their spot, 31st Harbor. After a sushi picnic, we took a walk along the lakefront at sunset, and Rob popped the question!
