Sarah and Aaron met while working night shifts at WinCo when life was a little messy for both of them and neither was looking for anything serious. One night, Sarah came to work feeling overwhelmed, and Aaron sat with her and listened while they talked about the struggles they were both facing. The next day, Sarah sent him a message to thank him for being kind when she needed it most. That simple message turned into regular conversations, shared laughs, and a connection that quickly grew into something more. Before long, Sarah was asking Aaron for help with the heavy boxes at work — sometimes because she needed it and sometimes just because she liked being near him. Aaron started giving her rides home after their shifts, and soon they were spending time together outside of work too. When Aaron met Sarah’s son, Brennan, the bond between them was instant. Not long after, they were building a life together and welcoming their daughter, Brynleigh-Rose, in August 2018. In 2019 they picked out a ring together and staged a playful photo booth “proposal,” perfectly fitting their style. Then in June 2020, during the uncertainty of the pandemic, they were married in a small, quiet ceremony with no guests — just a promise to keep choosing each other. Now, years later, surrounded by the family they’ve built and the love that has carried them through it all, they’re finally getting the celebration they always dreamed of.
