Sarah and Matt's story began in sunny Tucson, Arizona in September 2011. At the time Sarah attended the University of Arizona, and Matt was stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, but they somehow managed to find each other. Matt claims they "locked eyes" from across the room; Sarah remembers the story a bit differently. Regardless, after countless dates mostly involving ice cream, the rest was history. Fast-forwarding to years later in June 2017 (finally), Matt took Sarah on a, quite literally, magical trip to Harry Potter World in Orlando, Florida with a beautiful ring in his pocket and a plan up his sleeve. Kneeling on one knee in front of the Mirror of Erised with nervous excitement, he asked if a life together was what she envisioned. And Sarah, amazed at his knowledge of Harry Potter and at how lucky she was in that moment, said yes.
