Becky met Sarah when she was 5 turning 6 and Sarah only a few hours old. Becky is Sarah’s second oldest half sister. She taught Sarah how to tie her shoes, how to ride a bike, and how to be the best quirky version of herself. Some of her favorite memories with Sarah include making silly music videos to Backstreet Boys songs, going on family road trips in the RV that always somehow ended up with something breaking on/in the RV, creating full feature films of their pet guinea pigs as the main characters (ChocoHolmes, a true masterpiece), and staying up late watching classic musicals and chick flicks while eating way too many Oreos with peanut butter. Becky could not be happier that Sarah has found a person she can be her quirky self around and can’t wait to welcome Thomas as an official member of the family this year.

Where do I begin. For several months all Thomas would talk about was Sarah. He would have the biggest grin on his face every time. His eyes would light up just from thinking about her. We were all patiently waiting to meet this amazing Sarah and when the time came she sure didn’t disappoint. Meeting Sarah was like meeting an angel from above. We were all so delighted and excited to have her part of the family! As time went by I got to know her more and she is one of the most kindest, selfless, caring, loving human beings I have ever met! I have so many wonderful memories with you and I can’t thank you enough for always being there for me! You are the sister I never had and always wanted. I look forward to sharing more memories together and celebrating this new chapter in your life! I love you so much! ❤️❤️

Sarah and I met right at the start of my freshman year at UCM. We became quick friends through both CCH and the interior design program. From watching The Princess Diaries upstairs at CCH, to going to Mexico on a mission trip together, to 2 hour phone calls during the pandemic, to all the things in between, I've loved doing life with Sarah and cannot wait to celebrate her and Thomas on their big day! 💗🤗

I met Sarah at a big turning point in my life. It was summer 2020, I had just lost my job, my lease was up, & on moving day the movers didn’t show. My now husband Bryce & I were moving into Thomas’s new home. Bryce called up Thomas & Sarah and without hesitation, they came & helped me move out of my 4th floor apartment. I was so shocked & appreciative of the generosity for her to come help not knowing who I was. If you know Sarah, then you know this kind of act is a true reflection of her character. That summer became a bonding time for us, both former Disney College Programers who relocated to FL from afar, with no family in FL, and both with a degree in Interior Design. During that summer while both jobless we bonded over the decorating, organizing, & thrifting for the new house. Over 3 years of living with Thomas, Sarah, & Bryce we all formed an amazing bond. One that may not be understood by all, but nonetheless very special. We became family to each other & treated each other just as so, picking on each other’s quirks & being the support when needed. Sarah became a very special friend in my life, we were supposed to take a trip to Japan together but unforeseen events occurred & that trip turned into the two of us heading to Ireland. Those memories are some of my most cherished with Sarah. All in all I could go on, but nonetheless Sarah is such a special woman with an amazing heart & I am so happy to stand by her side on the most special day of her life, to marry Thomas.

I met Sarah in college at UCM when we lived together at the Christian Campus House. From the day I met her, Sarah has been a light in my life. We immediately bonded through our love of Christ and our desire to grow in relationship with Him. Despite our incredible spring break trip to Colorado one year, I have to say my favorite memories with Sarah are the late nights we shared (on a weekly basis) filled with wedding movies and talks of one day getting married ourselves. Oh, and of course every Disney movie ever made! I was beyond excited when Sarah accepted my invitation to stand by my side at my wedding. Now, I feel so blessed and honored to have the opportunity to stand by hers.

How did we meet? How we met is a difficult question to answer a decade later, but our friendship truly began the year we were suitmates: eating in the dinning halls, having movie nights where we'd scare the last person to the movie, and writing random messages/puzzles on the walls of the shared shower. Sarah worked hard to make sure I understood at least some pop-culture references and when she realized her dreams of moving to FL, I worked hard to make sure she knew she was loved from 1,254 miles away.

It’s been more than sixteen years since me and Thomas first met when I moved to Orlando. It was in our sophomore year of high school, in Spanish class to be exact. It wasn’t until our junior year when we really started hanging out, having Xbox live parties where we played Halo with our group of friends or played Call of Duty at my house. Ever since then we’ve been best friends. When Thomas told me how he met Sarah online during the pandemic, I knew she was different. The way he acted towards her was different than anything I’ve seen before. I knew they were meant to be together. I am so proud, and happy to be apart of their big day. Love you both.

I remember meeting Thomas for the first time roughly 14 years ago. Can’t believe it’s already been that long! I was new to Hagerty High and we all sat at the same lunch table through a mutual friend. That is when I started to be invited to halo nights, and I remember late night weekends playing halo at Donnie’s or other friends houses, and all the very intriguing events that happened and will forever be sewn into my brain. Those were simpler times back then, but all those fun weekends let me see what a fun spirit and friend Thomas was. Once we got older, we were always there for each other and I remember venting on numerous occasions, and having to knock sense into Thomas on numerous occasions. Then we all hit adulthood, and it’s been a true pleasure getting to hear about the success Thomas has had, and how much I enjoy the credit card talks, IYKYK. I am beyond proud of everything he has accomplished, and beyond glad he found someone as great as Sarah! Best wishes to the happy couple and cheers to many more fun years ahead!

If you’re over 50, read the first paragraph. If you’re under 35, read the second paragraph. If you are between 35-50, then pick your poison. I’ve known Thomas for plenty of years now. It has been a pleasure to see the growth he has made as a person. I have been able to witness him evolve from a carefree new college grad to starting his own business and even becoming my landlord for a few years. I am extremely proud of the man he has become, but even more so of the loving person he has become since being with Sarah. She has helped to accelerate his personal growth and I cannot wait to see what the future will hold for them. Thomas is a little bitch and I was his free therapy at work (thank you psychology degree). I barely knew Thomas when I got him a job at the company I worked at and how does he repay me? By automating the job and forcing me to find new employment. Surprisingly our relationship still blossomed into a landlord tenant relationship and now I can somewhat proudly call him an acquaintance. Congrats Tom and best of luck to you Sarah!

Jafet met Thomas in college when they were both rushing the college fraternity Kappa Upsilon Chi at the University or Central Florida. They have been friends ever since.

I first met Thomas during a very formative time in my life, my sophomore year of college. My friend Stephen convinced me to rush a fraternity called KYX and one of the first people I met was Thomas. I remember sitting down with him in the Student Union and just talking about our faith, the fraternity, and eventually League of Legends. I knew he was my friend when during one of our yearly retreat’s challenge events I decided to get creative and without missing a beat, Thomas mirrored what I was doing, no embarrassment at all, we were quite the team. Definitely one of those core memories.

As a friend, brother, roommate, and now groomsman, I have an abundance of cherished memories with Thomas throughout multiple phases of our lives. From UCF sporting events, study sessions, intramurals, accountabilibuddies, becoming roommates, random Pokémon Go trips, entrepreneureal groups, Game of Thrones parties, and beach trips to getting the sparknotes on any credit cards terms of agreements. One constant through it all has been our ability to get lost in conversation with each other. That's how we met and how our relationship has continued to blossom over the years. The reason we continuously find ourselves getting dragged out of deep conversations and asked to socialize with the rest of the group is because Thomas is the type of person to give everyone his full genuine attention. It's how I knew we'd be friends for life after our first extended conversation that lasted into the middle of the night one weekday in college. Well, that and the fact that we've been carving up the slopes for years now. I look forward to Thomas and Sarah's special day and couldn't be happier for two very special people in my life.
