We go to church together, hike new trails, and take long walks with our three dogs. We talk for hours, spend time with our families, and challenge each other to grow. We laugh a lot, support each other through the hard stuff, and genuinely love just being side by side no matter what life throws our way.

Adam proposed to Sarah in the most “Sarah” place imaginable: Goren’s stall at the barn. Quiet, personal, and full of meaning. With some help, he decorated the stall, put on a cowboy hat and boots, and waited for her inside—blending into her normal chore routine. She had no idea what was coming. When Sarah walked in, confused but curious, Adam waited for just the right moment. Then, on the sawdust-covered floor, he got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever. That was just the beginning. The second she said yes, her family came out of hiding with tears, hugs, and smiles. Adam had planned it all behind the scenes, down to the last detail. With help from her loved ones, he organized a surprise after-party with snacks, decorations, and a home full of everyone who matters most. Sarah says it felt like a scene out of a movie. Adam says he wouldn’t change a thing. And together, they’ll never forget the day they decided to build a life—starting in a barn, with boots, hay, and a whole lot of love.

Adam did… sort of. He accidentally dropped a “my love” over text, and Sarah called him out over text with, “Wait—does that mean you love me?” He didn’t mean to say it for the first time over text, but that’s how it happened. Sarah still remembers exactly where she was when Adam called her, saying: "Are you serious? We're going to do this over text?" We still laugh about it.

Adam: She’s taught me what it looks like to have a real, sincere relationship with Jesus—not just in words, but in the way she lives, prays, and loves people. Sarah: He's taught me what truly learning to accept your redemption means. He's spent so much energy and effort, not only learning how to take charge of his circumstances, but on how to teach people do the same thing. He approaches his own life and challenges with this spirit of learning and acceptance that is so unique and helps others to remove the stigma from their own challenges. I am so proud of him for this.

Adam: Our first date lasted all day—botanical gardens, brunch, and church. Then the next weekend, we spent three days in a row together and I’d already met her family. But the moment it really hit me was that Sunday at the barn. Everyone had left. She looked at me in a way I’ll never forget. I got that giddy, full-heart feeling, and I think I knew then. This was it. Sarah: There were definitely moments where I was struck by the different feelings I felt about meeting Adam. We went to church the same day that we met, and I remember joking with him during the service and just feeling like I had known him for a long time and having that desire to continue knowing him as long as I could. Funny enough though, the moment I, without a shadow of a doubt, knew he was my husband so strongly that I couldn't question it anymore was actually right after one of our biggest arguments. I knew it had to be God, because here we were right after an exhausting argument, and I was giddy because I knew he was it.

Adam: She somehow makes spreadsheets romantic. Sarah: I love how annoyingly authentic he is. Since we've been together, we've fought and argued--and weirdly enough, I absolutely love it. I love how genuinely authentic our relationship is. It's not Hallmark perfect--it's real.

Adam: Honestly? Living together and not having to make the 45-minute drive anymore. We can’t wait to just wake up, do life side by side, and finally share a home. Sarah: I can't wait to have a partner in everything. I've been independent for a long time now, and I love knowing that my best friend is going to be there every day to lean on.
