Rustic romance

Sarah and Jason - in the beginning

When Jason stepped in to take up a room in Sarah’s college houseshare, it was the start of something much more special than a roommate relationship. “As a group of college girls, we were all about having a handsome guy move in with us!” says Sarah. “Our relationship started a few months after we met.” Eight years later, and Sarah woke up at home one day to a big smile and a big question. “I loved how simple and ‘us’ the proposal was: we’re not about frilly, corny stuff, so it was perfect.” And just over a year later, the couple said ‘I do’ in a similarly unfussy way, al fresco at a farm in New Hampshire, USA.
