Sam and Grace met at Aftermath Winery for their first date in May 2021. We spent hours talking about everything and laughing lots. Over the next few weeks, we were inseparable. Finally on June 28, 2021, Sam asked Grace to be his girlfriend with a wine and canvas date at the beach, and the rest is history.
We went to visit Grace's family in Tuscon, AZ for Thanksgiving 2023. They had planned a hiking day for us at the gorgeous Picacho Peak State Park. Little did we know, it would be a very tough hike. We finally got to the first peak and began taking group pictures. To Grace's surprise, Sam came back for a second round of photos with her. That is when he knelt down on one knee and popped the question. On top of the mountain, Grace said "YES"!
