They met at Claim Jumper in 2014, Aaron was Sammy's trainer on day one. They shortly became great work friends, who made one another laugh and always helped cover each others sections. After years of laughing together, after work bar hopping, and even switching to new restaurants together, they quickly became infatuated with each other. Later spending all free time together, having fun adventures hiking, camping, late night dance parties, and generally being awesome together.
On June 5th 2021, Aaron dropped to his knee and asked for Sam's hand in marriage. He was aided by Josh and Kaitlee Ames to successfully surprise Sam on a trail at the Lake Diablo Hydroelectric plant. With nothing more than a ring in his pocket and love in his heart, Aaron waited for the right moment to present itself. A lush and flower filled trail opened up to a bridge with beautiful view and that's when Aaron knew it was the right time.
