George and Sara met one fateful night in fall 2012 at an Upper East Side bar in NYC. Our mutual friend and groomsmen, Daryl introduced us. We spent the night bonding over a mutual hatred of Canadian bacon (it’s not real bacon—eh!) and a shared love of ice cream cake. George will tell you that I wouldn’t give him the time of day at first; however, my story is that I have tendency to start to respond to a text, get distracted by something (squirrel!) and forget to respond, or my phone is on silent or do not disturb. I did eventually respond, and after five years and many adventures together, we can’t wait to embark on a new chapter as husband and wife.
Just us being weirdos. We were watching the episode of Friends where Phoebe refers to Rachel as Ross’s lobster and we loved the imagery. ‘It’s a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You can actually see old lobster couples walking around their tank, holding claws.’ What better way to memorialize our engagement than holding claws.
