Sarah Douglass & Kade Benson

Sarah and Kade were set up as one-half of a double date at Wild Wings. While things didn’t work out for the other couple, Sarah and Kade were inseparable from that night forward. They spent six months together before the Air Force stationed Kade in Korea. Sarah thought they wouldn’t get to spend Christmas together, but Kade flew home to surprise her. Every morning during his stay he would give Sarah a different present from Korea. One morning he gave her a note and a copy of her favorite love story, Sense and Sensibility. The note asked her to be his wife, and when she opened the book the ring was attached to a silk bookmark. Dana K Davis Photography.
