Jackie and Sam met the old-fashioned way—through mutual friends and a little bit of fate… plus the tiny detail that Sam had Jackie’s number for months and never used it. (Don’t worry, she forgave him.) Their best friends had known each other for years, and Jackie even knew Sam’s best friend before Sam ever knew her. But it wasn’t until a Friendsgiving that the two finally ended up in the same room. Naturally, Jackie decided he clearly wasn’t interested (hello my number?) and mentally filed him away as a non-option, but eventually that night they bonded over their shared love of Game of Thrones. A few days later, they had their first official date at a tiki bar in Milwaukee, where Sam finally put Jackie’s number to good use. Just three weeks later, Jackie attended Sam’s best friend’s wedding as her own best friend Claire’s plus-one—where she may have ditched Claire just a little (sorry Claire… but also not really sorry). And that was when things really took off. Over the past four years, they’ve explored the world together—literally. From Iceland’s waterfalls to the red rocks of Zion, from Hawaii sunsets to adventures in Boston and Vegas, travel has become one of their favorite shared traditions. Jackie even got Sam into running (a surprising plot twist), and Sam has been by her side cheering her on through every race. As for the proposal… impatient Jackie may have been anticipating it for months. But Sam, managed to completely surprise her. And yes—she said yes immediately!
