They met in 2015 at a USY event, where Sammy saw Miryam from across a bus and fell in love with her smile. In 2016, they dated for a month at Camp Ramah in the Poconos, but as Miryam went to college and Sammy went on his gap year, they had to end things, which Sammy instantly regretted. They kept in touch for years after, and Sammy asked every year if Miryam would go on a date with him. Fast forward to June 13th, 2022 when Sammy asked Miryam to give him a chance, and she agreed, and the rest is history!
