DISTURBED<\/b> frontman David Draiman<\/b> and his fianc\u00e9e Sarah Uli<\/b> tied the knot on Sunday, November 16 at an outdoor ceremony in their home state of Florida.<\/p>\n
The singer teased the big event earlier on Sunday, posting a shot from a group dinner with Sarah<\/b>, along with the caption, “Marrying this goddess today.”<\/p>\n
Earlier today, Draiman<\/b> shared photos from the wedding on his social media, writing in an accompanying message: “Thanks so much to everyone who was a part of this amazing day!”<\/p>\n
Sarah<\/b> also shared a few pictures from the ceremony, captioning them: “Married my best fiend! And it was the best day ever!!! I guess this is why people have weddings!”<\/p>\n
David<\/b> proposed to Sarah<\/b> on stage during DISTURBED<\/b>‘s May 9 concert in Sacramento, California.<\/p>\n
The emotional proposal took place before the second-to-last song of DISTURBED<\/b>‘s set at Golden 1 Center, “The Light”<\/b>, which was part of the band’s recently completed “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour”<\/b>.<\/p>\n
After bringing Sarah<\/b> out on stage, David<\/b> pulled her close to him and said into the microphone: \u200a”Sarah<\/b>, my love, you have made my life so much better. You are the light in the darkness for me. I love you more than anything I have ever loved in this world, and it would be the absolute pinnacle of my life and my existence\u2026”<\/p>\n
He then reached into his right pocket and pulled out a tiny box and opened it before getting down on one knee. The singer continued: “Sarah Uli<\/b>, will you marry me?” Sarah<\/b> quickly nodded yes before David<\/b> got back up and put the ring from the box on her finger.<\/p>\n
Draiman<\/b> then addressed the crowd: “In case you didn’t hear, she said ‘yes’.”<\/p>\n
“Go ahead and join the rest of your family, sweetheart,” he directed his then-soon-to-be wife.<\/p>\n
David<\/b> went public with his relationship with Sarah Uli<\/b> in January 2024, less than a year after announcing that he had split up with his wife.<\/p>\n
According to TheOrg.com<\/a>, Uli<\/b> \u2014 who, like Draiman<\/b>, resides in Miami, Florida \u2014 has over 12 years of work experience, starting in 2005 as a sales manager at TNT Powersprot. Sarah<\/b> then worked as a senior nightlife manager at GMR Marketing from 2011 to 2015. Afterwards, Sarah<\/b> joined Young’s Market Company as a sales representative from 2015 to 2017. Sarah<\/b> then worked as an independent marketing contractor from 2009 to 2017, handling marketing and promotional projects for various companies including Samsung, JBL, and Marlboro. In 2017, Sarah<\/b> became a territory sales manager at Reynolds American Inc. and worked there until 2020. Sarah<\/b> then joined AstroNova, Inc. as a regional account executive from 2020 to 2021. Sarah<\/b>‘s next role was at secure staffing as a model account manager from 2020 to 2022. She most recently held the position of senior sales account manager at JDI Distribution since April 2022. Sarah<\/b>‘s most recent work experience is as an account executive at eSpeakers since January 2023. Acccording to eSpeakers, she is passionate about being healthy and living life to its fullest. She loves to travel and see new places. She also enjoys being in the sun, at the beach, and spending time with her puppy, Raya<\/b>.<\/p>\n In May 2023, Draiman<\/b> said he deleted his account on Tinder<\/b>, calling it “an absolute shitshow”. One week after he confirmed that he had been using the dating app to find “the right woman” following his divorce, Draiman<\/b> offered an update on his search for romance, writing on Twitter<\/b>: “Holly fucking dumpster fire Batman, @Tinder was an absolute shitishow. Scammers, grifters, fakes and phonies abound. What a colossal fucking nightmare. Deleted it. Dear lord.”<\/p>\n On May 5, 2023,\u00a0one of Draiman<\/b>‘s Twitter<\/b> followers shared a screenshot of what appeared to be the singer’s Tinder<\/b> profile, and he wrote: “Lol dude you see this?! I’m tagging you bc I believe it’s fake @davidmdraiman”. David<\/b> quickly responded: “Not fake lol. It’s me”. This prompted the fan to write, “My bad bro for assuming”, to which Draiman<\/b> replied: “All good. You’d be surprised. It’s hard for a guy like me to meet the right woman. I’ll tell you, it’s been weird so far. Lots of scammers. Trying to figure out how to navigate this new terrain.”<\/p>\n Another fan also chimed in on Draiman<\/b>‘s presence on Tinder<\/b>, writing: “Read: David Draiman<\/b> can’t get laid anymore.” Draiman<\/b> fired back with: “I can get laid anytime I want if I’m willing to drop my standards, but my standards are quite high, and I won’t dishonor myself that way. Looking for the RIGHT woman, not just ANY woman. Oh. And btw? You’re a dick”.<\/p>\n In April 2023, Draiman<\/b> confirmed that he finalized his divorce from his wife of 11 years, Lena Draiman<\/b>.<\/p>\n The singer opened up about his split in an interview with Kyle Meredith<\/b>. Speaking about why DISTURBED<\/b> continues to make music and stay creative after being together for nearly 30 years, David<\/b> said: “Therapy. [Laughs] It’s as pure and simple as that. Right now for me it’s the most effective form of therapy.<\/p>\n “I’m very much looking forward to the performance end of things, which is coming up shortly, but the creative end is the perfect way to come to terms with your demons, and I’m definitely stocked up,” he explained. “I need this, and I need the music \u2014 creating it, performing it, living it \u2014 right now more than I ever have.<\/p>\n “I just recently finalized my divorce. I just recently said goodbye to my Akita [dog], my best friend of 14 years. There’s gonna be plenty of inspiration for the next body of work. Battling depression, battling all the demons that normally come along with it. And I know that music \u2014 our music, other music like it and different types of music in general \u2014 is just the perfect means of therapy for so many other people. And it really is my saving grace. I don’t know what I would do without it.”<\/p>\n Draiman<\/b> touched upon his divorce again later in the interview when the conversation turned to the DISTURBED<\/b> song “Don’t Tell Me”<\/b>, which appears on the band’s latest album “Divisive”<\/b>. A duet with HEART<\/b>‘s Ann Wilson<\/b>, the track was inspired by DISTURBED<\/b> guitarist Dan Donegan<\/b>‘s own recent divorce. “Mine hadn’t been finalized yet [when the song was written],” David<\/b> revealed. “And to be honest, when I wrote the song, I didn’t realize how prophetic it was going to be. I kind of hate that shit. [Laughs] It ended up becoming not just about Dan<\/b>‘s divorce, unfortunately. It wasn’t exactly the same situation, but I definitely have added reverence for the song, and it has added meaning and power to me, especially now.”<\/p>\n When David<\/b> first announced his divorce on his Facebook<\/b> page in February 2023, he described himself as “heartbroken” and “very lost” and revealed that there was “no infidelity” involved in the split. He went on to say that there was “no bad blood” between him and his now-ex-wife and added that they would “continue to be the best parents” we can be to their son Samuel<\/b>, who was born in September 2013. “Lena<\/b> is still the best mother I could ever hope for, so we’ve got that going for us,” he wrote at the time. He added: “I will continue to try to be the best father, and frontman that I can be, and I hope that Sam<\/b> can forgive me one day for my part in this failure.”<\/p>\n In November 2022, Donegan<\/b> told the Z93<\/b> radio station that DISTURBED<\/b> drummer Mike Wengren<\/b> also “went through a divorce early on in the pandemic.”<\/p>\n More than three years ago, Draiman<\/b> and his then-wife and son moved to Miami, Florida after living in Honolulu, Hawaii for a few years.<\/p>\n Draiman<\/b> first announced his family’s decision to relocate to Miami in February 2022, explaining on his Facebook<\/b> page that he and his then-wife “gave it our best shot, but between the extraordinarily long travel times for business, island fever, and a bunch of other factors, we’ve decided to move on.” He also shared a link to a video tour of his then-Honolulu home which had just been listed. That house has since sold for more than $6 million, according to public records.<\/p>\n In September 2023, Draiman<\/b> sold his house in the Miami suburb of Pinecrest for $5 million. David<\/b> bought the modern Spanish-Moroccan villa for $5.22 million in March 2022 and first listed it for $5.75 million in January 2023. It was last asking $5.19 million.<\/p>\n This past March, Draiman<\/b> filed a lawsuit against his former landlord, alleging that mold in a rental home in Coral Gables, Florida caused him to suffer health issues that negatively affected his singing career.<\/p>\n “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour”<\/b> celebrated 25 years of DISTURBED<\/b>‘s seminal debut album which launched the band into public consciousness and is one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums of all time<\/p>\n On February 21, 2025, DISTURBED<\/b> released a new single, “I Will Not Break”<\/b>, via the band’s own label, Mother Culture Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n well, it was a beautiful wedding Posted by Skum Love<\/a> on\u00a0Sunday, November 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DISTURBED frontman David Draiman and his fianc\u00e9e Sarah Uli tied the knot on Sunday, November 16 at an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":385878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-385877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115566674529064589","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
