One (rare) slow day at work, my friend (turned bridesmaid) Taylor Kelley turned to me and asked for my phone so she could online date for me. I initially refused, but she insisted (apparently it's fun when it's for someone else). She proceeded to match me with several potential suitors on a dating app, and Sam was the first one to message back. She responded for me, then passed me the phone to take over. I begrudgingly agreed. A month or so later, Sam & I met for our first date in Claremont. I had to come straight from work, scrubs and all (with an Uber, but that's another story...) and the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed from a power outage. Despite the signs, we forged on and had a lovely dinner at a nearby restaurant with live music. The rest, as they say, is history... :)
