On August 15th, 2017 Sam and RJ met in the crowd at West Virginia University's Fall Fest. They had an instant commection and left mid concert to grab food at Chick-fil-A. They ended up walking around the football stadium and campus talking the evening away, where RJ asked Sam out on a first date. A couple months later, RJ asked Sam to be his girlfriend and they were officially dating as of October 1st, 2017. Little did they know, in fall of 2019 they would move to Pittsburgh, PA and officially start their lives together. One year later on October 2nd, 2020, RJ proposed to Sam in Harpers Ferry, WV. This is when they began to plan their happily ever after. #StephensEverAfter
