Introduction: March 2019 First Date: March 2020 Proposal: Dec 5, 2021 Wedding: Dec, 10, 2022
Jon and Sami were casually introduced through mutual friends during happy hour of March 2019. Fast forward to January 2020, they hang out during a UFC fight night but nothing happens. A couple weeks later, Jon and Sami attend the same house party again... nothing happens. Jon never makes a move on Sami. It gets better, hold on... Sami then invites Jon to celebrate her BIRTHDAY and he completely stands her up. He claims to "have had to study for finals that week." Another couple weeks go by, Sami unwilling to give up, sends Jon a Facebook message and finally, he gives in.
Sami once told Jon her dream proposal was to be proposed to in front of friends or at least have video evidence. And what a girl wants, a girl gets. Dec, 5 2021: Sami & Jon hosted a Christmas brunch/Sunday Funday at their apartment, ugly sweaters & all, with a group of close friends. Little did Sami know - that this party would also turn into the proposal. Jon had a speech planned that was going to list all the great things Sami brings to his life. However, the emotions spilled over and the speech was forgotten. Jon went to one knee and simply asked: “Sami will you marry me?” And with a mimosa in hand, She said YES!
