thought she was working a typical March day in her New York City office, but little did she know, she would meet her forever partner, Connor Keech. Both were working in advertising sales but met for the first time when they were placed on the same team. Although the pair began dating in October 2017, the couple kept their relationship a secret from coworkers until December, only to find out that it came as no surprise. Connor proposed in Hawaii’s Volcano National Park lookout point, volcanoes erupting behind them. “I was hoping that he would propose on this trip, but he did a lot of things to throw me off,” Sarah says. The couple spent the rest of the day hiking and laughing as Connor described the step-by-step details of his planning, from buying the ring to getting down on one knee. The couple will tie the knot legally at Durham City Hall but will celebrate with a wedding on Oct. 12 in Siena, Italy, on their seventh anniversary. CHM
