It’s funny how the simplest moments can turn into the most unforgettable memories. We met on Hinge—just another swipe in the sea of online profiles—but something about our match felt different. Even though we didn’t chat too much on the app, there was an undeniable spark right from the start.

Our first date was at Bar Peached in downtown Austin, and from the moment we met, there was an instant, mutual connection. We both felt it—this is going to be something special. The evening was filled with so much laughter and ease that our faces and cheeks hurt, especially when Ben ordered the “tree brisket tacos,” which had Sarrah absolutely ‘craic’-ing up. We couldn’t stop smiling, and by the end of the night, we both knew without a doubt that we wanted to see each other again.

From there, our story unfolded into a whirlwind of fun, adventure, and connection. We found joy in the simplest things—whether it was paddleboarding, axe throwing, or trying new spots in Austin. Ben’s knack for planning made every outing feel intentional and memorable, while Sarrah’s energy and enthusiasm added excitement to each moment.

What made our relationship special from the start wasn’t just the laughter or the adventures. It was the way we helped each other grow, through both the good times and the challenges—being there for one another, offering support, and staying truly committed along the way.

Now, our love has only deepened. We still laugh until our faces hurt, plan adventures big and small, and make each other feel cared for every step of the way. Our story began with a spark, but it’s the shared joy, challenges, and unwavering support that has made it last.

We can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next—together, with love, laughter, and just the right amount of craic!
