“Our change of plans led to the most perfect wedding and weekend,” Sarah states. “We had 15 of our closest family and friends. It was our parents, siblings and their significant others, my very best friend since preschool and Michael’s nephews. We really wanted our grandparents to be there, but it was too risky with COVID.”
“The wedding ended up being everything we could have asked for and more. It could not have been more different than what we originally planned on doing (probably around 300 people at a country club in St. Louis) but it was so US (low-key, intimate, with our favorite people on Earth minus a few, of course). There was no pressure. We actually got to talk to our parents, talk to each other. It was perfect.”

He was such a gentleman when we parted ways for the night. I happened to be leaving for a cruise with my family the next day so I wasn’t exactly sure what would happen. I thought it was a really fun night but definitely didn’t think I had just met my husband. However, my parents bought me Wi-Fi on the cruise, and we ended up talking nonstop. The day we got back from the cruise, he left tickets for my brother and me. Michael and I went to dinner that night, and the rest is history!”
