How We Met

Distance means so little, when someone means so much

James and Sarah met for the very first time in May of 2011. Sarah had just moved to the US to work as an Au Pair, when a mutual friend introduced them for the very first time. After a very painful game of Taboo - Sarah's first time playing the game in English - they hit it off talking about music they like, concerts they've been to or bands they have yet to see.

How we got engaged

Love is stronger than language barriers

James went down on one knee on February 15, 2018 - one day after Sarah's 26th birthday - and asked Sarah to marry him. On the verge of finishing the last pages of her master's thesis and having just accepted a 6-month internship in Munich, Sarah was completely clueless. After having asked both her parents for permission - Thank you, Google Translate - James had hidden the engagement ring in Sarah's old bedroom since during their long distance relationship they used to hide handwritten little notes in each others bedrooms for the other to find. After having found the ring, James went down on one knee and Sarah said ... YES!
