1. Sadie and Erik became friends in middle school and remained best friends for years before falling in love. What’s your experience with a friendship turning into a romance?

2. Erik planned three fun dates to woo Sadie: a trip to the Denver Aquarium, a night out learning to swing dance at the Mercury Café, and breakfast cooked at his apartment (with online chaperones). What other fun dates would you have planned for Sadie and Erik?

3. Sadie’s self-image was affected by a childhood experience: being diagnosed with a lazy eye and having to wear an eye patch and glasses for a number of years during elementary school. She was also teased (bullied) by other classmates. Have you or someone you know ever been bullied by other kids? How did this affect you (or them)?

4. Have you ever gone to a Sadie Hawkins Dance? What was your experience like?

5. Before Erik could move ahead and love Sadie, he had to forgive his father for abandoning the family. Phillip introduced him to a different perspective of forgiveness: horizontal and vertical forgiveness. What did you think of this view of forgiveness to help Erik let go of his hurt? Do you have a favorite scripture passage about forgiveness?

6. Sadie experienced a horrible bout of stage fright during the morning cooking show. If you’d been there with her, how would you have helped her relax?

7. Sadie and Erik surprised their friends and family with an engagement party that was actually their wedding ceremony. What’s the most fun thing that’s ever happened to you at a wedding?
