Sam and Kelly met on Hinge in late 2019 – just enough time to fall for each other before the world shut down. Kelly invited Sam to move into her tiny studio for "three weeks" until lockdown was over. Three weeks turned into three months, and somewhere between a global pandemic and a high-stakes campaign, they found time to fall even harder for each other – and most importantly, Kelly's cat Leia approved of Sam. In 2021, they decided they liked one another enough and moved into a larger one bedroom apartment together. In 2023, a second kitten Fennec Shand charmed her way into their lives. And in 2026, they're making it official and saying "I do" to married life. They couldn't have gotten here without their family and friends and they are so excited to share this day with you!
