We met at the most romantic place any two people could ever hope to meet at-- the annual Pitt Computer Science Club potluck. We caught each other's eyes and, of course, didn't say a word to each other. Luckily, the next day, our paths crossed again in the study lounge. This time, I plucked up the courage to ask Sam for his name and added him on Facebook...and the rest is history.
Around our 4th anniversary, we decided to take a weekend trip to the Nigh family beach house in Stone Harbor, NJ. Immediately following the 6-hour drive, still in our driving clothes and our hair still disheveled, Sam insisted on taking a walk along the beach. As we walked along the beach in the dark, illuminated by a bright, full moon, Sam suddenly dropped down on one knee. I screamed, shouted "NO!", then "OH MY GOD!", then "YES!", and we were engaged.
