In August 2018, Sage moved to New Orleans and applied to work at Brennan's Restaurant in the French Quarter. August is slow season and Trent was behind the bar working on a new cocktail when she walked in, waiting for her interview. Rumor has it he went back and told the manager, "You need to hire this one." Fast forward a couple of months and Trent finally got up the nerve to ask Sage out...to the dog park. Trent and Percy picked up Sage and Buddy and the four of them went on their first date. If you had the honor of knowing Buddy, you know that Sage and Buddy's connection was one of a kind, so when Buddy took to Trenton right away, Sage knew this was a special sign. Sage and Trent continued dating, making it official shortly after that first date. Trent supported Sage as she attended TeachNOLA, summer 2019 and began her career as an educator. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Trent joined Sage and her roommates Quaran-team, cooking together, playing games, surviving. Through every challenge, they continued to support each other and grow stronger. Eventually, they decided to move in together in the neighborhood they love, Algiers Point, which sits just across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter. While this was a big change, it made sense for them both. Sage's school is only minutes away and Trent gets to ride the ferry to work each day. In June 2023, they bought their own home just a few blocks away from their first place. Trent asked Sage to marry him (the first time) while they were walking on the levee by the river. Sage said, "Yes of course I will marry you but you have to do this again." The next time he asked he was more prepared, getting down on one knee during the Cherry Bombs' pre-parade circle during Mardi Gras season. Surrounded by friends, in Cherry uniform, and ready for a parade through this special city. It was perfect. Building a life and a home together makes every day feel special. They have the pets, the house, the ring, and they even picked a wedding date before getting the surprise of a lifetime. On Father's Day 2024, Sage and Trent found out that their family was growing sooner than expected. Baby coming February 2025!! Sage and Trent can't wait for you to join them and their special plus one Memorial Day Weekend 2025. Until then, be happy and be well!
