Sarah and Dante’s Spring Minimony

By Terry Meadows




Sarah and Dante's romance began traditionally through a mutual friend. Soon after, Dante won over Sarah's beloved dog, Luke, and their love story took off. Together, they've enjoyed countless walks with Luke, lively dances in Baltimore, adventurous cooking attempts, and serene beach getaways.

Their engagement was as memorable as it was unplanned. Dante arranged a weekend in an antique schoolhouse in the Virginia mountains. The next day, amidst a challenging hike to McKnee Knob without water and in the rain, Dante proposed at the scenic summit. Sarah's affirmative answer set the stage for their future adventures together.

"I Want It All"

What advice would you give to other wedding couples?

"The reason why we truly loved Zion Springs is that they walked us through the entire process, including things that we wouldn't have even considered if we were doing this on our own. Zion Springs made this such an easy process and the best day of our lives!

The wedding day goes by so fast, but having a staff that really understands what is important to you and enforcing it was THE BEST thing! We could not have been happier with our choice using Zion Springs. It truly was a dream come true!"
