Vinoklet Winery Engagement Session // Justin + Sarah

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. 

Wedding seasons came and went. All of Sarah’s friends found their someone special. She would get dressed up, hair curled, make up done for every wedding and always wonder when the right guy would come her way. 

Fall of 2014, her and her friends were sitting around a table at the local coffee shop when the idea of online dating came up. Her friend had used an app called “Coffee meets bagel” and she rolled her eyes and didn’t think twice about it.

As she was clicking through channels one evening, she saw that goofy app again on Shark Tank. Maybe it was legit...Maybe she could give it a try. Little did she know, the guy that would one day become her husband was watching the same episode of Shark Tank and decided he would give it a try, too! 

They matched on the app and decided to go to the Tavern for drinks. She slowly opened the restaurant door hoping they would click in person. She sat down with him and before she knew it-three hours had passed and they had talked and laughed the evening away. 

Their second date happened that very same week! She went to his house to watch the UC game and they’ve been watching the games together ever since! 

After the first date, they both deleted the app without telling each other. They both just knew.

Fast forward to May when Sarah was graduating with her masters degree. Justin had told her that he wanted to take her to her favorite winery for a graduation gift! She had been wanting to go and take him there. When they arrived, graduation parties and family get togethers crowded the winery. It started to rain here and there but that wasn’t stopping the plan. Justin got down on one knee that day and asked Sarah to be his wife.

Sarah will be a bride next May. Its finally her turn.

A silly app brought the two together and they couldn't have dreamed up a better ending.

 Justin,

I'm so glad you took a chance on Sarah. Your life will never be the same. I can't wait to see how your relationship with her grows. Thanks for taking good care of her and always making her feel special. She deserves every ounce of that. 

Sarah,

Thanks for being my best. Seventeen years ago we met and your friendship continues to mean the world to me. Life is happier, brighter, and so much more fun with you in it. I'm so happy you found your love. It makes me happy to see you happy. Love you Sar!
