People often say, "What happens at band camp stays at band camp," and while that may be true for some, it definitely wasn't for us! Our story started back in high school, where fate (and marching band) decided to bring us together. Sarah was a freshman in color guard, and Chris was a senior in the drumline! From day one, Chris was very interested in Sarah and made it known through relentless flirting. He found any excuse possible to talk to her, including mocking her for how short she was! Sarah, being the sensible freshman she was, was hesitant at first. But eventually, she agreed to go on a first date, which included dinner at Applebee’s (a true classic) followed by a trip to the AMC movie theater to see The Nutcracker. A few dates later, they decided to make it official, and the rest is history. Seven years (and countless adventures) later, Christopher popped the question on January 11, 2026, in front of the stunning Skylands Manor at the New Jersey Botanical Gardens. Sarah said yes—without hesitation this time! Over the past seven years, they've grown up together, cheering each other on through school, graduations, higher education, and the exciting beginnings of their careers. Through it all, we’ve laughed, learned, and built a life rooted in love, support, and, of course, a whole lot of fun. Now, we’re embarking on our greatest adventure yet: marriage and a lifetime of happiness. We can’t wait to see what our future holds, and we’re incredibly grateful to be sharing our love story with all of you! We look forward to seeing you all on our big day!
