Sara Katherine and Sam's love story began on the other side of the world in the land down under. They met in Brisbane, Australia when Sara Katherine took a year-long internship with Campus Outreach at the University of Queensland. Sam just started working on staff the same month that Sara Katherine moved and began her internship.

This sweet couple exchanged vows on July 22 at the beautiful Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church and danced the night away at the Avon Theater in Birmingham, AL. Sara Katherine looked nothing short of incredible in her fit & flare, french chantilly lace gown by Paloma Blanca, and we're over the moon that she found her dream gown at Bustle!

“One of my favorite part about our wedding day/weekend was really how worshipful it all was. Saying our vows may have been the coolest moment for me. The most impactful line of mine were “Where you go, I will follow, your people will be my people, and your God, He is my God.” It felt very big and significant because two weeks later I moved permanently to Australia to do ministry with Sam.

Along with this, my favorite part was how the wedding brought together people from two very different cultures. We were able to have our close friends and family fly over to celebrate with my American friends and family. This will likely never happen again until heaven, and so we were soaking in every moment.”
