It was New Years Eve 2016, Sarah was in Abilene for the holidays and Gunnar's sister, Hanna was having a party. Sarah tagged along with her cousin, McKenzie. The bride and groom knew this was a setup, so of course they were both shy and didn't talk much. Sarah went back home, to Chicago thinking Gunnar was cute and it was a good story to tell friends, but didn't think much would come of it. Fast forward to November 2017, Sarah moved to Abilene and Gunnar asked her on a date. They went to a Casey Donahew concert and the rest is history!
