When It All Began: Sam and Cynthia first met each other walking the halls of H.B. DuPont Middle School (2009) where they had a spark, even then. They shared their first date at Brandywine Springs Park as 8th graders. When It Became Forever: Sam proposed to Cynthia on a snowy Wednesday afternoon on February 20th, 2019 at Brandywine Springs Park, after 3 and a half years of dating. By the time these two love birds walk down the aisle they will have been together for over 6 years and will have known each other for over 12 years.
