Our first date was at a brewery in Blacksburg, Va. Sara moved to Chesapeake a few weeks later to do student teaching and Timothy stayed in the Salem area. When Sara moved back to town the two started hanging out again. About a year later, Tim asked Sara to be his girlfriend. The following summer the two went on Sara's family vacation. Little did Sara know that Tim had been planning a huge surprise at the end of vacation. On the last day of vacation, July 26th, Tim asked Sara if she wanted to go on one last walk on the beach before leaving the next morning. The two went for a walk and when they got back Tim said he had one last thing he wanted to do before heading back up to the house. Tim got on one knee and asked if she would marry him, of course the answer was yes! Tim then said, "I told you I wouldn't do it without everyone being here." When Sara looked up she saw her family, all of Tim's family, and their friends standing on the boardwalk cheering for them.
