Sam and Melissa first met in college in the fall of 2013. However, their lives were on different journeys at that time, and they only remained friends. Their paths crossed again in the summer of 2019. And after their first date, on July 31st, 2019, they have been together ever since!

Such a dream proposal. On the evening of June 7th, 2022, while on an annual family vacation, Sam requested the help of Melissa's family. He took her to dinner and when they got back to their condo, he took her for a sunset walk on the beach. Her family was waiting there on the beach next to a floral heart in the sand. Sam led her into the heart and got down on one knee. And well...she said yes, of course!
