Meet her fiance Joey, Sergeant Martin to be exact. Joey is stationed in Baghdad.
Sarah and Joey met long ago when Joey was a senior in high school and Sarah was in 8th grade and best friend to Joey's little sister. Having a very obvious crush on her best friend's big brother, Sarah was like most giggly 8th grade girls. After years of no contact and a little growing up to be done, Sarah got on Facebook one day to wish her old friend a happy birthday when who do you know would see her? Sergeant Joey Martin of the Unites States Army National Guard. They hit it off right away and immediately enjoyed getting to know the people they had become.As you probably know, a romance quickly ensued. Unfortunately, Joey's Uncle Sam had other plans for their new love. Joey was whisked away to serve his country on January 5th of this year. But fate lent them a sweet hand when Joey got leave for four days. After a very little time to find a lot more love, Sarah had the saddening duty of taking him to the airport and into harm's way. Joey could not let her walk out of the terminal without making sure she would be his to come home to. He got on one knee and told her that he wanted her to be his wife. He needed to know that they would spend the rest of their lives together. Sarah agreed!
Opening themselves up to a bittersweet engagement, Sarah started her planning and as luck would have it, became one of our very cherished brides. Sarah and Joey spend a large portion of their disposable income to pay for expensive internet hours so they can see each others faces on Skype every morning while Sarah gets ready for another day. They even meet again in the evenings despite the extravagant time difference.
Sarah and Joey are truly deserving of each other and we can't wait for them to exchange vows on the beach after Joey finally comes home to her on Christmas.
Sarah and Joey... you deserve every blessing that comes your way! Check out their website @ http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/JoeyMartin&SarahMercer
