Sarah and Evan matched on the League in September 2020 and met for their first date at Jeffrey’s Grocery in the West Village. Over wine and oysters, they quickly connected—swapping stories about their very different pandemic experiences: Evan spent lockdown in sunny Santa Monica with his brother & sister-in-law, while Sarah held it down in a much quieter (and slightly apocalyptic) New York City. The conversation flowed effortlessly from there, covering their shared love for NYC, their families (who mean the world to them), and their love of traveling the world and experiencing new cultures. Things moved quickly from there. Weekly dates turned into twice a week, and soon enough, they were spending nearly every day together. Their dates included everything from cooking dinner and watching playoff baseball, to trying a new restaurant each week, biking up to the Cloisters, or taking day trips to Princeton, the Hamptons, and the Hudson Valley. Since then, they’ve racked up a growing list of travel memories: San Diego, Napa, LA, Paris, New Zealand, Montreal, Italy, London, and even Scandinavia to chase the Northern Lights (spoiler: they caught them). Sarah has even embraced Evan’s love of the outdoors, including hikes that probably should’ve come with a waiver. Now, 4.5 years later, they live together in Chelsea, NYC—and make it a point to return to Jeffrey’s Grocery every anniversary, sitting at the same table where it all began…and where they got engaged! They’re so excited to begin this next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate their big day surrounded by all of their favorite people.
