We can’t wait to celebrate with our small circle in person, but we're so grateful for the love and support from our greater circle near and far.

They met at the Copper Door in Bedford, expecting nothing more than some eggs and small talk. Instead, they spent the next ten hours making each other laugh, making fun of each other’s taste in music, and competing to see who could tell the more embarrassing story. The date felt more like a comedy show, and between the teasing and the laughter, something special started to take root. Neither of them wanted it to end. Sam was immediately hooked by Dasha’s sharp wit, big heart, and her unmatched ability to make him laugh. Dasha, on the other hand, fell for Sam’s smarts, warmth, and his knack for turning even the ordinary into something fun. They’ll never forget their trip to Las Vegas with Dasha’s sister, Kristina, and her husband, Joao. They arrived in Vegas intent on having the cliché, rowdy trip, but somehow ignored the casinos and nightlife and opted for sightseeing and belly laughs. Turns out, they’re much better at wholesome than wild. Sam proposed on March 8, 2025, in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The day started with a surprise limo ride to the seaside Hammond Castle, where Sam popped the question under scenic arches overlooking the water. A hidden photographer captured the moment, and they celebrated with seafood and a stay at the Beauport Hotel, shellfish allergy adventures included. They’ve built a tradition of collecting Christmas ornaments from every place they visit, filling their travel-themed tree with memories. Together in love, laughter, and everything in between, Dasha and Sam are ready to keep building their life alongside their German Shepherd, Zara.
