Our Love Story

The Love is Not Cancelled

Our love story began in Asheville in 2014. Alex was in the home-stretch of completing his degree at UNCA. Sarah was finding her stride between working and playing in WNC. Some rescheduled first meets found us both finally enjoying a sunny date tubing down the French Broad River. Six years later, we’ve camped, paddled, hiked, and biked all over these Blue Ridge mountains and beyond. We’ve created a home together that brought on the task of learning new skills through DIY home repairs and parenting two of the sweetest rescue pups. Through it all, we always make time to hit our “reset” buttons together in nature. In October 2019, Sarah mentioned to Alex that she finally felt ready to fully commit to forever. He replied, “What are we waiting for?” and immediately packed up the gear to camp out at Shining Rock, one of his favorite spots (and now Sarah’s too)! Under the purple blanket of sunset Alex asked Sarah to spend the rest of their lives together. She said yes!
