A simple swipe right in December 2023 changed everything. What started as a Tinder match quickly turned into a first date where Sam and Cody felt an instant spark. Before long, there were double dates, introductions to friends and family, and a love that grew stronger with each passing day. Soon, they were celebrating their first anniversary, building a life together, and supporting one another through everyday moments and big accomplishments alike. Their little family—Cody, Sam, Stella, and Gus—became the heart of it all. As the years went on, they returned to one of their favorite places, the zoo, and in October 2025, Cody proposed. Now, they continue growing side by side, excited for the long, beautiful marriage that lies ahead.
