We met during a free period in the library at Charlotte Latin School and quickly formed a strong connection. We went to several high school dances together before Tim, a year older, left for the University of Kentucky while Sarah finished high school and later went on to Purdue University. Even with the distance, we committed to a long-distance relationship for five years. We visited each other on weekends—going to sporting events, Greek functions, and experiencing college life together whenever we could. During breaks and summers, we reconnected back home in Charlotte, spending time with each other and our families. Through different states, busy schedules, and years apart, our relationship only grew stronger. Now, after years of love, patience, and shared adventures, we’re so excited to begin the next chapter of our story—together at last.
