We met through a mutual friend (Kiley Weathersby) at a New Years Eve party on the Yorktown ship in Charleston, South Carolina. Our relationship however, did not start until over a year later when we reconnected on everyone's favorite dating app and Sam proceeded to accidentally like a very old picture on Aaron's Instagram. We officially started dating May of 2021 while Sam was in Seattle which became a special place throughout our relationship and has now become our home.
