We met through our local community theatre, and had our first date after a rehearsal for our Christmas show. Sarah was hungry and the only place we could find still serving food was Applebee's. From the butterflies and laughter we shared at the table to a first kiss celebrated by the entire restaurant crew in the parking lot, we both started to fall. In the coming weeks, there were sweet snow dates, celebratory picnics, holiday parties, and a realization that magic was brewing. In the weeks following our first date, Sarah heard "Fancy Like" on the radio. While it's cheesy, we agreed that it's definitely our song. You can expect to hear it sometime on our wedding day! One year from our first date, we were engaged! Samuel surprised Sarah with a proposal during intermission of a Pentatonix concert, which we attended with Sarah's sister Carissa and brother-in-law Kyle. The next weekend, Samuel was acting in the holiday show at our local theatre, and Sarah secretly planned to have a spotlight cast on Samuel after the curtain call, surprising them with a proposal of her own, in the very room where we'd first met.
