We came so close to meeting throughout our time at UConn. Sam's suitemates were mutual friends with Eric, Eric often visited other friends in Sam's building, we may have even played a game of mafia together and never realized it. After circling each other for 4 years, we finally met online on May 2nd, 2015. Sam was taking a break from studying for final exams when Eric messaged him. We talked until the sun came up and realized that we needed to meet in person. After messaging each other at the exact same time, we finally met that afternoon and clicked instantly. After seeing each other for a week, Sam graduated and moved to Plymouth, Massachusetts, while Eric moved back home to Ridgefield, CT. The four hour distance was challenging, but after continuing to talk and visit each other throughout the summer, we became official on Sam's 23rd Birthday. The rest is history!
Our proposal was supposed to happen on an annual vacation to Provincetown, Massachusetts in July of 2020. Both of us were planning to propose to each other on there, but unfortunately, life had other plans. After the trip was cancelled by the Covid-19 pandemic, we moved our vacation to Eric's lake house in Three Mile Bay, NY. Sam decided to move his proposal to Christmas, but Eric didn't want to wait! After taking our annual dock pictures on the lake, Eric proposed to Sam on the dock at sunset. It was the most beautiful proposal we could have asked for, and a few days later we were able to celebrate with both of our families We can't wait to celebrate with you!
