Our story started in high school painting class. We met in this class but as we were seated across the room from each other it took awhile to introduce ourselves. Over the semester we started talking, learning about our similar hobbies and interest, and the rest is history. We started dating August 10th, 2017. Our first date was at 54th street followed by a movie. We had so much fun that we decided to continue our date at Andy's ice cream. Following out first date, Kase started his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Missouri. Sara then joined him at the University of Central Missouri in 2019. After completing their degrees at the University of Central Missouri. Kase pursued his law degree at University of Missouri , and Sara pursued her dental degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Kase then moved back to the area following graduation, while Sara finalized her degree. Kase proposed on July 12th, 2025 at the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. This has significant meaning to us both, as one of our favorite summer events is touring local gardens, and is a tradition we have continued since our first year of dating. True to our annual tradition, we attend the gardens on the hottest day of the year. We look forward to everyone's involvement and presence at our wedding and cannot wait to celebrate our story with you all!
