Our Story

It all began in June 2021 at the National Test Pilot School, where we first crossed paths. That very first weekend, we embarked on a memorable adventure together — a hike to a stunning waterfall in Santa Paula Canyon. Little did we know, that day would mark the start of something special. What began as a simple friendship blossomed as we enjoyed countless trips, Friendsgivings, and shared moments. Over the next couple of years, our bond deepened. Each adventure brought us closer, filled with laughter and unforgettable memories. Fast forward to our two-year anniversary in September 2024—what better way to celebrate than a trip to Utah? Paul had a beautiful surprise in store. As we hiked through the breathtaking landscapes of Zion National Park, the sun began to set, casting a warm glow around us. In that magical moment, Paul got down on one knee and asked Sarah to become his wife. Without hesitation, she said yes! We can’t wait to start this new chapter of our lives together and look forward to celebrating with all of you! Thank you for being part of our story.

Why Sedona?

We’re getting married in Sedona because it’s where we first felt the magic. Our first trip together in April 2022 was spent hiking the red rocks, offroading in a Jeep, and stargazing, all while laughing and talking for hours. We weren’t dating yet, but it was clear that trip to Sedona had sparked something special between us. Coming back here to say “I do” feels like the perfect way to continue the journey that began on that unforgettable first trip.
