One day after work, Ed walked into the bar where Sam happened to work. Later on that night and after a few rounds, Ed had worked up the courage to ask for Sam's number. Within a few days, we were headed out on our first date at The Chesterfield Inn. Within the first hour of that date, we knew we had each found the person that we wanted to share a life with. After a few short months together, we headed to the Burlington animal shelter and picked up our furbaby, Coty. The next few years consisted of several moves, new jobs, and career changes as a small but mighty family of three. On July 6th of 2024, on the beach at Asbury Park, after five years together, Ed asked Sam to marry him. We will begin our new chapter in life as husband and wife on September 7th 2025, and are honored to have our friends and family celebrate with us!
