Although Sarah and Tony spent most of their childhood at the same martial arts school, their friendship developed after they had both earned black belts and began teaching children’s martial arts classes together in 2011. A year later, they began to meet up outside work to train for tournaments, but as time went on, they spent less time training and more time just talking. In August 2012, Tony (finally) asked Sarah out for dinner and a movie the summer before his senior year of high school. After an awkward first date seeing a mediocre movie, Tony thought that he would have to avoid eye contact until he left for college. Fortunately, Sarah asked him on a second date, and the rest is history.
