Stuart first met Sarah on a street corner outside the Beatbox Club at 2am. Sarah didn't have money for a taxi and Stuart took her home. He gave her his telephone number by writing it on the back of her hand. According to Stuart, he "[n]ever got rid of her since." Sarah fell pregnant with Stuart's child out of wedlock and they got engaged.

On the day of their wedding on 7 November 1987, Stuart, Sarah and the guests had to take refuge in the church after a Reaper attack. Stuart's father, Sonny Hoskins, was killed. After the Reapers vanished, the pair married and his father returned. The only event remembered was the death of Peter Tyler just outside the church.

According to Mickey Smith, Sarah and Stuart moved away some time after the wedding. (PROSE: Rose's Dad? ^[+]BBC webteam, Who is Doctor Who? (BBC, 2005).)
