We both swiped right and the rest is history. We made plans to meet for the first time over drinks at Motel Morris in Chelsea and had such a great time we ended up ordering dinner and dessert. Samantha loved how loud Ken's laugh was and he loved how funny her stories were. We ended up planning our second date by the end of our first.
Ken worked with Samantha's dad's favorite jeweler in Connecticut to design the ring Samantha had been dreaming of. After months of sneaking off to CT to work on the ring, we went on a romantic dog walk in Madison Square Park (our favorite spot in NYC) on December 10, 2021. Ken confirmed with Yoda that he had found the perfect spot in front of the Christmas tree and sparkly lights, got down on one knee and Samantha couldn't say yes fast enough!
