Local Indianapolis, IN, Love Story: Sabrina and Justin

How They Met: Sabrina first met Justin for a few short minutes while they were in Dallas, Texas, for work. She was working at USA Football and had been going to these annual events for years. One day Justin showed up alongside some other hopefuls interviewing for a position with the company. As luck would have it, Justin got the job, and he moved to Indianapolis, IN, becoming Sabrina’s coworker. 

He asked her out on a date after their first week working together, but Sabrina knew better than to date someone she worked with. After having heard many horror stories from friends of hers about dating within a company, she had promised herself that she would never risk a job, or a relationship, by mixing the two worlds of work and play. She politely declined and explained her reasoning. Justin understood and knew better than to press the matter, so he used another tactic, and thought to just let whatever happens happen, and build a friendship. Turns out it was the perfect way into her heart because as time went on, Sabrina developed strong feelings for him and she broke her rule. They’ve been inseparable ever since. 

How They Asked: Sabrina had just come back home to Indianapolis, IN, after visiting a good friend of hers in Denver. Justin picked her up from the airport and brought her straight home so that she could relax because the next day was their anniversary and they had romantic plans. When they entered the apartment, Sabrina noticed red rose petals all over the floor with beautiful candles all lit (with the help of a friend!) leading her into the living room. Justin, a talented videographer, had made her a very thoughtful video for their last anniversary so Sabrina thought that this was a sort of sequel to that. She noticed their favorite song playing in the intro and was surprised when she saw her best friend that she had just visited pop up on the screen saying lovely things. After that, all sorts of different family members and friends added heartfelt wishes and Sabrina understood what was happening. She began to cry just as the video ended and Justin got down on one knee. He told her how she’s made his life so much better than he could ever dream of and how he hoped she would agree to keep loving him and let him continue to care for her. He pulled out a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from a local jeweler in Indianapolis, IN, and she said yes. Later, Justin revealed the two hidden cameras he set up to record the proposal, so they could relive it for years to come.
