Sam and Monet met through college friends after they had both graduated from Purdue. He lived in Chicago, and she had a tradition of going to Cubs vs Astros games with their friend Nathan (it's much harder now the Astros are in the American League.) So in the Summer of 2011, Monet drove up to Chicago from Tennessee for a baseball game with friends including Sam, Nathan, James, and Kyle. After that game and subsequent trips to Chicago, Sam and Monet became friends. Directly after Sam found out Monet was moving to Wisconsin from Tennessee, he told his roommate, James, he was going to date her. He wasn't wrong. He found out Monet was single at a baseball game at Miller Park in the summer of 2015, and they have been together ever since. On August 11th, Sam proposed along Lake Michigan in Veterans Park. A spot they enjoy going for walks. They celebrated at the Harbor House, called friends and family, and then went to a Brewers game to bring it all full circle. On July 14, 2018, they will be married in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
