Couple Spotlight: Nate + Sarah

Nate and Sarah are fun and adventurous. They are always "up to something" and typically surrounded by friends and/or family.  We are excited to share some of their early marriage thoughts with you because they are friends of ours.

As we have watched they relationship grow, we have seen how much Nate and Sarah invest in each other.  Mark had the opportunity and honor of being one of Nate's co-best men, which meant a behind the scenes look at both the planning of their future, but also intimate chats about their relationship while floating down a river together at the bachelor party.

Nate and Sarah make each other better versions of themselves.  Nate is the biggest encourager and brings a sense of fun to everything they do.  Sarah is a planner and the glue that keeps everything together.  Together they are the perfect combination of spontaneity and excitement mixed with contentment and presence.

We are so excited to see what the future holds for them and the people they impact through their relationship.
