We're getting married!

Our story began in December 2024, when we met at a bar in Manhattan — Sam with friends from St. John’s University in Queens, and Bailey with her college friends from Princeton. We struck up conversation naturally, exchanged numbers, and promised to stay in touch, even with the distance between New York and Wisconsin. That distance ended up bringing us closer, faster than we ever expected. In the spring, Sam visited Bailey in Wisconsin, and after a week of time together, we began dating. Through the summer and fall, we wove our lives together — dinners near Princeton and on Long Island, walks, beaches, and small adventures. The long drives and busy schedules taught us how to grow together and love each other better. Eventually, on a spontaneous weekend in Montauk, Sam proposed at a quiet overlook — truly the best day of our lives. We are each other’s best friend, and we cannot wait to begin this next chapter. Thank you so much for being part of our story!
