Engagement Story: Sarah & Jon

How they met...
Jon and Sarah met on March 15th, 2008 at the Southwest Nostalgia Drag Races. They were part of the same circle of friends, but Jon was rarely around due to his job. He is a United States Marine and was stationed in California at the time. That day he was racing his 31 Ford Coupe and Sarah couldn't take her eyes off of him.

She contacted him on Myspace a couple of days later and they exchanged phone numbers. Their relationship grew the more they talked and he started coming home more, even if it was just for the weekend. They had a wonderful summer together just hanging out and falling in love.

How he proposed...
In August, Jon was transferred out to the east coast so they were not able to see each other nearly as before. It was a hard move, but their relationship was now strong enough to survive a longer distance. He took leave in December and came home for Christmas. This was a special time for them because it was the first time their families met and spent the holidays together. Little did Sarah know, she had an even bigger surprise coming!

They spent Christmas Day with their families and afterward went over to a friend's house for a birthday party. As they were leaving, Jon said he had another present for Sarah. She hugged him and remembers his heart was beating so fast! Even when he reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring box (which was wrapped), she had no idea what was inside. He had her untie the ribbon and take off the paper. He then took the box back and opened it up to reveal the beautiful solitaire diamond ring that they had looked at months earlier. He told her that he already had her parent’s permission to ask and now he just wanted to know if she would marry him. Sarah stopped crying long enough to tell him yes!

The details so far...
Sarah and Jon will be getting married on Friday, September 8th, 2009, here in Phoenix, Arizona. Their wedding colors are Tiffany Blue, Black and White. Sarah has chosen our "Furry Monogram" in her wedding colors and as a flat card to keep her costs down. We will post a photo of Sarah and Jon's wedding invitation after her guests have received them.
