Sam and Molly met at Iowa State University. They met through friends and grew closer with a couple mutual classes as they were both studying finance. Sam and Molly were friends for about two years before they started dating. During this time, Sam and Molly were neighbors and lived across the street from one another on Lincoln Way. Our friend group, was pretty inseparable through junior and senior year.
Molly and Sam began "dating" January of their senior year. After many, many nights out at the Ames bars with dancing, flirting, and fun, they became official on 1/23/2019 (because why not have your anniversary on 1/23).
Sam surprised Molly September 4th, 2021 by proposing in front of the Campanile at Iowa State's campus. It was the first football game of the season, and we had plans to go to the game with friends. He had secretly arranged for both our families to come to Ames to celebrate as well. We had an awesome engagement-themed tailgate hosted by the Seibel family. It is one of my fondest Iowa State memories and such an amazing day! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you and are looking forward to many more memories together!
