Like many these days, Rich and Sam met online. They had their first date in November 2021 at Segovia's, a favorite restaurant of both of theirs. Over a few glasses of Spanish wine, they discovered they had a lot in common and agreed to go on a second date. Rich and Sam enjoyed bowling, dinners, and one fun tailgate at a Jets game before they made it official. In the winter, Rich brought Sam down the shore to his second home, Lavallette. That weekend they discussed their dreams for the future and how they could build it together. By Spring, the couple started to meet each other's family and friends and took their first trip together to Florida. In June 2022, Rich moved to the 'burbs, to be closer to Sam in the house they plan to share together. After only 8 months, Rich proposed to Sam on July 17, 2022 in Lavallette with their close family around. Rich and Sam are excited to celebrate with everyone in June of 2023!
