Sarah & Ross

are getting married!
RSVPOUR JOURNEY

Our Story

It All Started April 20th, 2013
Well, technically it all started on April 19th …the dating site Eharmony matched us (back when it was embarrassing to meet on dating sites!) and we held our first phone conversation.  Dinner plans were made for the next day but after hours on the phone we moved it up to a lunch date.  Little did we know that a wild and crazy journey together was just beginning.

 

Wild and crazy was kinda our thing though…we both suffer from alcoholism and addiction.  Despite the recommendations of every counselor/doctor/therapist we embarked on our road to recovery together October 1st of 2014.  I don’t think either of us could have found sobriety without the other…soulmates sort of work that way 😉 We also would never have made it without the love and support of our incredible families.

 

Together we’ve faced about every struggle one can imagine…and we get a little stronger coming out of each one.  Our greatest triumph has been raising the 2 loves of our lives…Jocelyn (12) and Ocean (10).

Ross Copenhaver

Son of Danny & Becky Copenhaver | Older Brother of Drew Copenhaver
Ross grew up in Midlothian, VA where he spent much of his youth playing sports.  His first love was basketball but loved competing in baseball, volleyball, tennis and football.  He dreamed of a college basketball career but, unfortunately, he was too small and WAY too slow 😀

 

Ross graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Marketing.  It took some convincing to go to a school where he wouldn’t know anyone, but Ross met his closest friends there after joining the Sigma Nu fraternity.  He couldn’t be more grateful to his parents for pushing him to become a Gamecock.

 

 

It took a while for Ross to find his calling but once his mind was clear through recovery he decided to chase more challenging pursuits.  In 2015, he started his own digital marketing agency RossCo Innovations. He relishes the opportunity to help others succeed and he runs his business with integrity as the primary objective.

Sarah Tyner

Daughter of Marilyn Tyner, the late James Tyner, Gene Pridgen & Diana Tyner
With sand in her hair and salt in her veins, Sarah was born an island girl.  Growing up, Sarah could often be seen teaching grown men how to throw a cast net or how to use a Penn reel.  Sarah saw God in the surf and served him faithfully.  She was intimately involved in service work, mission trips, outreach and fellowship.

 

As a young adult, Sarah found her calling in helping women learn to love their reflection.  Sarah fell in love with empowering women as a stylist.  Her skills were noticed by bright lights going on to work in films, TV and runway fashion.  Sarah’s career took her up and down the east coast where she was able to embrace her inner “weird” girl when she discovered prosthetic special effect makeup talents. (Check out Ross’ 2021 Halloween costume!)

 

Despite the excitement, passion, joy and all the beloved weirdness of beauty and film, Sarah’s real purpose tumbled into the world in March 2010 with Jocelyn and again in March of 2012 with Ocean.  Despite 22 amazing years of life, Sarah started living March 21st, 2010.

 

Sarah’s soul is wild, every moment is a potential adventure, she’s never quite sure how it will begin or end.  You also may not know what she’ll say and her nickname has always been Sarah Spill-It (can’t take her anywhere!)  Sarah is also very certain she will be an Astronomer when/if she grows up.

Countdown

We actually had plans to elope and have scheduled a 2 week cruise in Europe for our Honeymoon.  But the closer we got to our nuptials, we decided we had to share our special time with a small group of our dearest friends & loved ones.  We realize that this timer is already very short and we thank you profusely for bearing with us!  We cannot wait to celebrate with you all!

The Proposal

Below is a video of our engagement.  I faked a Netflix show that contained my footage and had it on the TV when she came in the room.  It didn’t fake her out long but was still fun and she thought it was only our Anniversary we were celebrating…

The Day Of

We will have a short ceremony on the beach in front of Salty Hammocks condos led by our Pastor Jonathan Bowling of Carolina Beach Presbyterian.  Attire will be “beach formal” so feel free to leave your ties and heels at home!  After the ceremony we will have the reception at Harbor Point Yacht Club.

Carolina On My Mind

Family will be staying here and we will use it as a base of operations.  It has a beautiful rooftop view of the island!

Registries

While the gift of your presence and your support is more than enough we are humbled by any support donated to our once-in-a-lifetime trip to the British Isles!

Cruise Upgrades

Norwegian Dawn Cruise Fund

We are just realizing how many things are NOT included in our package. The cruise is paid for so this would be for upgrades to the WiFi, Sodas, Dining Experiences etc.

Stateroom Upgrade to a Balcony

Sold Out!  Woohoo!  Now we wait to see if our upgrade goes through!

Since our cruise is more about the ports than the cruise itself we got a basic stateroom…but we just received an offer to upgrade to a balcony for a very reasonable price

Excursions

Powerscourt & Dublin

Head south towards County Wicklow, for a rich and diverse alternative to the urban atmosphere of Ireland’s capital. You’ll see that the County’s reputation as the “Garden of Ireland” is well deserved.

Best of the Highlands-Castles, Loch Ness & Inverness

The highlands of Scotland offer unparalleled scenic beauty, ancient landscapes and fascinating history – with superb castles, magnificent mountains and enchanting lochs.

Stonehenge & Salisbury Excursion

The intriguing site of Stonehenge and the beautiful city of Salisbury are yours to explore. Salisbury Cathedral is one of the finest medieval churches and contains a remarkable range of monuments.

Belfast-Northern Ireland Hop On/Off

Enjoy the view from an open-top red bus and whenever you spot something you would like to explore further, just hop off! Then, when you’re ready, just wait for the next bus and hop back on.

RSVP Here

We pretty much know from speaking to you all who is coming but we would love to hear from you to confirm if it’s not too much trouble
