Casey & Sarah’s Love Story:

In true fateful form, Casey and Sarah found their way back to Maine at the same time. In 2020 Casey moved back to his hometown in the Midcoast of Maine, and Sarah, who had spent her childhood vacationing in Rangeley with her family and had many friends from Saint Mikes living in Portland, also decided to uproot her life in Boston and make the move to Maine.

Since the world was essentially shut down due to Covid, both Casey and Sarah turned to the dating app Hinge, where they both swiped right on each other. Sarah can recall seeing Casey’s barely-filled-out profile for the first time, with only one real photo of his face, and thinking that even though she had barely any clue who this man was, there was something about him. Something deep in her gut that stuck with her for months, popping up in the back of her mind – don’t let him go.

Since Casey was living in the midcoast at the time, Sarah felt bad making him come all the way to Portland for a date. So, they got to know one another better via text for a few weeks, but eventually correspondences faded out. But there was always that nagging thought in the back of Sarah’s mind, telling her to not forget him.

Eventually, it would be a chance instagram post that would change the course of their destiny. Sarah had seen that Casey had posted to his story, which he never did. Turns out, it was his friend Andrew Austin who had posted a story that Casey had re-shared - and in that story, it said that Casey had moved to Portland!

Sarah immediately took that as an opportunity to kickstart the conversation, and she responded to his story. From that moment on, the rest was history. They had a date set for that weekend, and a few days later on January 16th, 2021, they met for the first time. Little did they know at the time, but that was also the day halfway between their birthdays, and they were born only 1 week apart.

In true Sarah fashion, she accidentally went to the wrong coffee shop first and ended up being 30 minutes late to the date. Luckily, Casey stuck it out and was still there when she finally arrived. From there, coffee turned to lunch, lunch turned to dinner, and dinner turned into the rest of their lives. As Casey so lovingly puts it, “We went out for coffee and she never left.”

After only having known one another for 3 weeks, they made it official and started dating on a ski trip to Sunday River. There were fireworks (literally).

Both Casey and Sarah work from home, so they were able to spend their days working together with Koda in Casey’s apartment, and they continued that daily routine five months later when they officially moved in together. Over the course of the next two years, Casey and Sarah added Goose to the family, had moved into another home across town, and really settled into the Maine lifestyle by becoming the proud parents of 5 chickens.

In December of 2023, Casey and Sarah took a vacation with friends Katie and Rich Crowley to a small coastal area of Belize. Casey waited until the opportune moment, when sunshine finally peaked through the clouds, and Sarah was appropriately dressed to go cave-tubing, to pop the question that Sarah had been wanting to hear. Of course, Sarah screamed “YES!” before Casey could even fully get down on one knee.

Casey and Sarah can’t wait to recreate this moment, (in hopefully some nicer clothes), and celebrate their marriage on March 1st, 2025, surrounded by their loved ones, in Belize, the place where their forever began.
