Sarah and Jason both attended the same small school, Lehigh, yet somehow, their paths had never crossed during their college years. Fate, it seemed, had decided to play a little hide-and-seek with their hearts.

 

Enter the modern-day matchmaker, Hinge. They both swiped right in February of 2020, and their love story began. Their initial conversation? Let's just say it was as cheesy as a New York slice, but in the most endearing way possible.

 

Before they had a chance to meet in person, life hit the pause button for everyone as quarantine started and New York City turned into a ghost town. But for Sarah and Jason, it was the start of something beautiful.

 

Their first real date was an adventure that took a surprising turn. Sarah was looking for a new place to live and Jason tagged along on an apartment tour. 

 

As they explored the space, discussing kitchen layouts and closet space, an unexpected alarm disrupted their plans. A small fire had broken out somewhere else in the building, and they were told they had to evacuate. 

 

Down flight after flight of stairs, they went, holding hands and  laughing at the absurdity of it all. You could say things were off to a “hot” start. 

 

Things cooled down from there as Sarah and Jason settled into life together in the city. Then along came their dog, Boolean, and they all moved into an apartment together. No evacuation necessary during the search this time.

 

When the time was right, Jason chose the iconic ice rink at 30 Rockefeller Center to pop the question.

 

Now, they invite you to join them as they celebrate their love—a love that started with a fiery escape from an apartment building and crystallized into a forever promise on the ice skating rink. From fire to ice and to whatever their future holds.
