Our beginning

From lunches in the snack bar, to walking down the Aisle

How We Met Ian and Savannah’s story began in the most expected of places—the workplace. They were coworkers, quietly crossing paths every day. Ian noticed Savannah early on, but his shy nature kept him from saying much. Instead, he admired her from a distance, waiting for the right moment that never seemed to come. Savannah, however, sensed something behind his 'quiet' demeanor. Rather than waiting, she decided to take the lead. One afternoon, she asked Ian to stick around the snack bar and “keep her company.” That simple invitation turned into a habit. Day after day, all through the winter, the two of them sat in the little snack bar, eating whatever creation the chef had concocted that day—sometimes good, often questionable. From terrible chili to interesting soup, it didn’t really matter what was on the menu; what mattered was that they were together. Slowly, between shared meals and laughter, Ian found his courage. Eventually, he told Savannah how he felt, and from that moment on, everything changed. What started as two coworkers sharing odd meals in a snack bar has grown into a love story that’s been unfolding ever since.
