David and Sam met at a Labor Day barbecue in 2013. From the moment that David greeted Sam with a traditional "Trumpet Drink," it was clear that they were meant to be... ...Just kidding! We were casual acquaintances until second semester, when we bonded over family dinners at 8802, mornings spent gossiping on the bus to our 9:30 classes, and our mutual love of the "Sugar We're Going Down" Pandora station. That April, David purchased Sam at a charity date-auction, so we were contractually obligated to start dating. Four years, three graduations, two cross-country moves, and an unfortunate case of bed bugs later, David proposed in the modern art wing of the National Portrait Gallery, where we had our first date. We chose to have our wedding in Baltimore because that's where we made our first home together. We hope you can join us to celebrate our marriage in the city that we love! - David and Sam
