Sara & Ben met while working at Canlis Restaurant in Seattle, in 2004. The tsunami of Southeast Asia struck the day after Christmas that year. Two weeks later, Ben left on a trip with his father (an international director of a missions organization) to Sri Lanka to assess the damage and need. Ben dedicated the following two years of his life to living and working with a local relief and development team in Sri Lanka. During this time, and on his brief returns to the US, he would share his stories with Sara, and their shared passion to serve the people affected by this tragedy brought them even closer together. In the summer of 2006, Sara and her mother traveled to Sri Lanka for three months to serve alongside Ben. Living and working in a third-world country amid civil war and natural disaster, Ben and Sara found confirmation that they were to spend the rest of their lives together.

When we found out that Seattle Met was going to publish their wedding, we decided to wait until the magazine came out to show you their photos. It's been a long, arduous wait, but the time has finally come and we are so excited to share them with you!





























Congratulations, Sara & Ben! We love you and are so happy for you!

Gerald & Airika
