On June 13, 2021, Alexandria was attending her first church service at Celebration Church (meeting at the Orlando Museum of Art) while Sam was attending his second service. When Alexandria entered the sanctuary for worship she was sitting behind Sam and noticed him (yes, Sam is telling this story). Towards the end of service, Pastor Keith Pittman invited those in the church who had never met him to do so outside after service. As we were separately waiting to meet with Pastor Keith and Pastor Maegan, it began to rain. While Sam found cover from the rain, Alexandria approached him and asked "Are you hiding from the rain too?" Since he was looking down at his phone and did not know who asked the question, he looked up and saw Alexandria. He immediately noticed how beautiful she was (and maybe added a little more bass to his voice). They began a conversation where they began learning a little more about each other and met the pastors together (who thought they were already together). From there, they had a meal together, began going to events together, and eventually became a couple together.
