Due to all of the restrictions and safety concerns, we will be postponing our reception until September 26, 2021. We will still be getting married on September 12th. We wish we could have everyone here this year, so we will be streaming the ceremony live. Go to the Live Stream tab at the top of the page to access the link where our wedding will be streaming! Can't wait to see each and every one of you next year!
In 2017, Sam and Steve both joined Match.com. One day in November, Sam was looking through profiles and stumbled upon Steve. She liked his profile, and on November 26th, he sent her a message, saying hi and asking why she called herself "a nerd" on her profile. From that point on they talked everyday, on Match, on Snapchat or through texts. Steve asked to meet Sam, but she wasn't sure so she made him wait 3 months. Finally on February 17, 2018, Sam and Steve met to go ice skating. Due to some hockey game interference, they ended up at a bowling alley, where they played a few games, took a break for church and dinner, and then headed back for some karaoke.
To celebrate Sam's new job, Steve suggested going out to dinner one weekend, while they were in Philadelphia. They went to the Royal Boucherie for dinner and dessert. Then they decided to check out the Summer Fest that was happening in Penn's Landing (the site of their second date). They explored the festival and Steve suggested a walk down the pier, by the water. Steve was looking for a secluded spot to pop the question, but because it was extremely crowded it took about two hours of walking up and down the pier. Finally they were alone, and it was getting close to midnight. Steve waited until the clock struck 12 and then got down on one knee. And through her tears Sam said yes!
