I am beyond excited for these two! Sara and I grew up as neighbors and she is like a sister to me. We both went to JMU which is also where Connor and Sara met. For their engagement session we started at Sherwood Gardens with the beautiful tulips and then went over to Clipper Mill for some industrial looking photos. It was the perfect Spring day!
Here is their love story from Sara’s perspective:
Connor and I met back in 2017 working together for Young Life in Harrisonburg. We were friends for a few months, but both started to have feelings for each other in January of 2018. Connor asked me on our first date February 15, 2018! We dated for about 7 months, but broke up. We like to say it was right person, wrong time. We continued to be friends, co-workers, and even neighbors! Two years later, almost down to the week, we started dating again (August 28, 2020)! It's been the sweetest.
And the proposal story!
Connor took me on a date one Saturday (February 27, 2021). We got breakfast at a local spot called Thomas House and then we scratched off a date on our Couples Adventure book. The date took us on a fun picnic, where we sat with a gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and ate our favorite foods. That day was Mr. Williams birthday, so the plan the whole day was to go meet his parents for a nice dinner later that night. After the picnic, we watched Greatest Showman, which was one of the first things we did together back when we first dated) and then headed back to my house for me to change real quick for dinner! We walked in my house and there were roses and candles everywhere, and our song "You are the best thing" was playing. I was shocked. He read me a sweet letter he had written back on August 24, 2020 and then asked me to marry him!!
