Sarah & Joe
Sarah and Joe met at FieldHouse, a sports bar in the city, during a Penn State and Ohio State game. She'd known him from social media for weeks but had never seen him in person, and then there he was, standing in line across the bar. Butterflies, she told me. Honestly.
He proposed on the beach in Cape May. The night before, Sarah had told him she couldn't wait to love him forever. She didn't remember saying it. He did, and he got down on one knee to tell her he wanted the same thing.
Getting ready
Sarah got ready at home in Philadelphia with her mom and her sisters around her, then had a first look with her dad. Joe waited. The first time he saw her that day was at the end of the aisle at St. Albert the Great Church in Huntingdon Valley, which was the moment she'd been looking forward to most.

Together
From the church, the party bus took us to Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn. Once the wedding party finished their photos they headed back to the bus for a drink, and Sarah and Joe had the gardens to themselves. Sarah told me they aren't serious people in photos. She was right.
Just the two of them
The night ended at Heroes Ballroom. Their first dance was "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. Of course it was.
Then they danced
