Sam and Stephen met in their freshman year of college at Christopher Newport University. They quickly became close friends, studying at the library together and going on late night 7-Eleven runs. During their second semester, Stephen took a chance and asked Sam to see a movie. They went on their first date on March 13, 2020. The day the world started to shut down, something new was starting up! After 4 years of dating, Stephen took Sam to DC to see the cherry blossoms. Stephen proposed as the sun was rising over the tidal basin. They can’t wait to begin the rest of their lives together, and are so excited to celebrate with you at their favorite place!
