Sarah and Franck met on the first day of freshman year at UNC Chapel Hill. They quickly became friends and would often grab lunch at the dining hall after class. One day, Franck asked if Sarah would join him for lunch the next day, to which she readily agreed, not thinking much of it. The next day they grabbed lunch off-campus at what would be their first date. Afterwards, Sarah asked to meet up again and let Franck know that she just wanted to be friends. Over the next seven and a half years, Franck and Sarah continued their friendship through the ups and downs of undergrad and beyond when Franck moved to attend medical school at UVA and Sarah stayed at UNC for graduate school. They both took turns making trips to visit each other as "friends" and it's no surprise that pretty much everyone who knew them was just waiting for them both come to their senses and get together already. In October 2018, Sarah visited Franck in Virginia to run a half marathon with him and his friends. Later that night, they attended a Halloween party together (sore muscles and all) and that was the last thing they did officially as friends. It took a little bit more time for them to make things "official" but they finally did on December 14th, 2018, the day when everyone who knew them rolled their eyes and said "It's about time!".

Sarah and Franck were long distance for the first year and a half of their relationship, while Sarah worked in NC and Franck first finished med school in Virginia and then moved to Atlanta, GA to begin his residency. On July 19th, 2020, in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Sarah and Franck went on an inconspicuous hike at Crowder's Mountain outside of Charlotte, NC during one of Franck's rare times off. At the top of the mountain, in a secluded spot and with her mouth full of sandwich, Franck asked Sarah if she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She didn't answer right away for obvious reasons, but when she finally answered she said yes! Sarah was ecstatic to be able to spend the rest of her life with her best friend and Franck was pretty pumped, too.
