In September 2015, Sara sent Dominic a friend request on facebook while he was deployed in Kuwait/Iraq. Once Dominic accepted the request, their friendship grew quickly. They talked all day, everyday, until Dominic returned home from his deployment. He decided to make a trip up to Fargo in December 2015 where they met for the first time in person. Sara picked Dominic up at the train station, and Sara says it was love at first sight. Dominic was only supposed to spend the weekend there, but he ended up extending his stay to spend a few extra days together. Once Dominic went home to Apple Valley, they continued to talk everyday. Within a week of him being back home, Dominic purchased a one-way train ticket to the cities for Sara, where they would live together & now soon be husband and wife.
