So, picture this: Girl swipes right. Guy swipes right. Boom! It's a match made in Bumble heaven. That's how Abby and Sam's wild ride began, and boy, what a ride it's been!
Their first date? Beers at Improper City. But here's the kicker – Walter, Abby's furry sidekick (and now Sam's BFF), totally stole the show by snagging the first kiss. Talk about a wingman! Right then and there, Abby and Sam knew they'd stumbled onto something pretty darn special.
Over the past three and a half years, their bond has only grown stronger. United by their shared passions for good food, concerts, traveling, and skiing/snowboarding, Abby and Sam have created a life full of excitement and joy. Their relationship has been marked by countless cabin weekends, thrilling mountain trips with friends, country concerts after Sam turned Abby into a country lover, and adventures that have taken them across the globe.
From soaking up the sun in Mexico to marveling at the otherworldly landscapes of Iceland, and strolling through the charming streets of Amsterdam, Belgium, and Paris, they've collected memories that will last a lifetime. But it's not just about stamps in their passports—they've explored plenty closer to home too, with trips to visit family in Texas and fun-filled trips across the US.
A big milestone in their journey was buying their first house together. While it was a step towards building their future, let's be honest—it was also about giving Walter the yard of his dreams!
The highlight of their story (so far!) came on the weekend of March 30th. Sam, proving himself a master of surprise, planned a mountain getaway that Abby never saw coming. Convinced that a proposal would happen during their upcoming Europe trip, Abby was blissfully unaware of the magic about to unfold.
Sam had thought of everything: a hidden photographer capturing the moment atop a mountain pass between Keystone and Breckenridge, ensuring Walter was part of this new chapter, and even orchestrating a surprise party with their closest friends and family waiting back at home. Abby's reaction? "The best surprise ever!"
From a simple swipe to a lifetime of adventures, its proof that sometimes, the internet really does get it right. As they gear up to tie the knot, they can't wait to have you all there to celebrate. Get ready to raise a glass (or three) to the Sloans!
