Samantha & Ryan
The Fellowship

How did we meet? This is tough as we go way back, but I think I met Sam at a sleepover when she was in the third grade and I was in the fourth. She was the only third grader there so didn't know many people but because I am so kind I took her under my wing. I think I met Ryan when Sam brought him to Michigan over the summer years ago and we played flip cup in her Mom's backyard. Favorite board game? Scattergories isn't technically a board game but it's my favorite because I'm so smart I kick everyone’s ass at it.

How did we meet? I met Ryan on October 10, 1992 at New York Presbyterian Hospital. 2.5 year old Ryan thought I was a toy and wanted to bring me home right away to dress me up as a cowboy. I don't remember any more than that... it was a bit of a blur. I like to think it was the second best moment of his life - first of course was meeting Sammi. Fast forward 21 years and lots of cowboy dress ups later, Ryan brought Sammi home to Boston during the summer of 2013! As any good sister would be, I was skeptical of a new girl coming around, but Sammi quickly won us all over with her fun personality and quick wit. Favorite board game: Does Left Right Center count? I have three $1 bills on me at all times.

How did we meet? Ryan and I are cousins, so I've known him for his entire life! When I was in law school and Ryan was working in Boston, I also was lucky enough to have him as my roommate. Getting the chance to become even closer with Ryan in our 20s--whether we were having a beer together at our local bar or whether he was staying up late with me as I studied--is one of the things I'm most grateful for. I met Sammi for the first time at our annual family camp weekend in Maine when she and Ryan started dating. She immediately fit right in and held her own around the campfire with our loud, boisterous, funny family! It has been so nice to get to know Sammi more and more over the years and to have her as a friend and soon-to-be cousin. Favorite board game? Guess Who is a classic!

How did we meet? I met Sammi in the spring of 2013 on a weekend shoot for a student film in Connecticut where we joy rode golf carts non-stop. We got to know each other during that shoot but became close friends during our Fall 2013 classes by way of many late nights at Brother Jimmy's. I met in Ryan in February of 2014, a few months after I met Sammi at her 21st birthday party. Ryan was manning the beer keg and following a very reasonable policy of "one beer for you, one beer for me". It was love at first sight and I knew we were going to be good friends. Favorite board game? Risk

How did we meet? I don’t remember exactly where I first met Sammi, but honestly it was probably trivia at Bar None. (I’m pretty sure) I met Ryan at the epic New Years’ party my roommates and I hosted in 2014. Favorite board game? Codenames

How did we meet? Sammi & I have been friends since 8th grade (!!). I honestly don't remember meeting Ryan - it just feels like he's always been in my life! But Facebook says Ryan and I made it FB official March 2016...which means we've been friends for 5 whole years!! Favorite board game? Codenames and Uno
