How We Met

Salad Never Sleeps

A salad match from the start. Benjamin and Samatha met while working at sweetgreen - Sam in H.R., Ben in marketing. A fraught position to be in - as Ben often jokes that flirting with the head of H.R. could have dire career consequences. However, after a year of late-night crisis management, impromptu coffees at the airport, countless Google Hangouts, and one resignation - Ben finally got up the courage to ask Sam out for a date in their favorite city of New York. They knew this was the real deal after their first date and signed up for 16 months of a cross-country relationship. Ben supported Sam while she finished her master program, they traveled the country racking up frequent flyer miles, and deepened their love for each other and for adventure before finally settling in Brooklyn, New York.

The Proposal

Te quiero

Looking to escape a never-ending winter on the east coast, the couple planned a long weekend to Tulum, Mexico. With the ring securely tucked in his bag - and just a bit of anxiety - Ben thought he had successfully managed to get through Mexican customs. Feet away from the exit, and the anxiety fading into thoughts of the future, they hear the dreaded shouts of police - added security. Entering the room, the couple watch as the person ahead of them had their bag torn apart. With sweat rolling down his face, Ben began a frantic plea to have Sam go first or use a different table - anything to avoid a proposal in the Cancun airport. Having a feeling something was up, Sam kept herself busy and watched Ben sweat out the whole ordeal. The next morning - with two coffees in hand - they went for a walk on the beach where Ben asked Sam to spend the rest of their lives together, partners till the end.
