Sarah & Chris’ Engagement

It’s so special to be able to photograph Sarah and Chis! We’ve known Sarah since our college days and were so very happy for her as things with Chris developed and now they are getting married in just one week! We love seeing our friend laugh and smile as much as she does whenever she’s around him.

How did you meet?
Sarah: We met through a mutual friend at my company’s golf tournament.

Anything special you’d like to share about dating?

Chris: Sarah is a very special person and very caring. When we started dating I was living with my parents (yes I know 35 years old) because I just got divorced…that didn’t bother her! I have 2 great kids age 12 and 8 that she accepted and my boys love her very much. Sarah has been there for me every step of the way. She listens and makes suggestions to issues that really she shouldn’t worry about, but she does! Without the support from Sarah, family and friends I would be a complete wreck and I am very blessed to have these people in my life. I am marrying my best friend! We can sit around and do absolutely nothing and be happy.

Describe your proposal.
Chris: I took Sarah on our anniversary to the place we had our first date. Very nervous, but got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.
Sarah: I almost ruined the proposal!!! I left home without my insulin pump, and we were going to eat pasta! I told him we would probably have to skip dessert and I would be ok, of course that is when he was planning on asking! Even though I threw him a curve, he asked and I said YES! Two things I will always remember: how nervous he looked, and the song Jolene being played by the bluegrass band in the background!

What is your ring like?
Sarah: I didn’t give Chris much help, he was on his own, but every time I look at it I think how I couldn’t have found a ring I loved more myself!

How would you describe the way you feel about each other?
Sarah: I have waited a long time to meet my best friend that I want to spend the rest of my life with. God had His plans for both of us, and I thank him everyday that His plans for us include each other! Watching Chris be a dad and love his two boys so much has captured my heart and I feel lucky he has enough room in his heart for me too.

Do you have any special plans for your wedding that you’d like to share?
Just excited about saying I do!
