How We Met
We matched on an online dating site (Sam insists he swiped right first). We met up for our first date at Italian Eatery where we had a lovely dinner and walked around Lake Nokomis afterward chatting well after the date was supposed to be over. We both knew pretty quickly we were in it for the long haul. Since then we have both graduated from higher education institutions, moved into our first joint apartment, traveled abroad and of course- gotten engaged! We cant wait to celebrate with you all!
