Andy and Sam met as one does in their late twenties….through an inconspicuous dating app called Hinge.

They met for drinks at a bar in DC when Sam was living in the city, and Andy was in Arlington, VA. The day of the date, both individually discovered that Sam knew Andy’s sister, Emily, through mutual friends, and that they had been at various gatherings together over the years but never met. There was an instant connection between Andy and Sam...even though Andy’s obsession of the Jets had Sam questioning her sanity, and Sam’s obsession with the Steelers and Pride & Prejudice causing Andy to question his. Sam knew from the first time Andy cleaned her apartment, and Andy knew from the first time Sam displayed her sarcastic and witty humor that this was the one.

In the very early stages of making things “official,” Sam accepted a rotational role at work which took her to London for 6 months. Andy graciously (e.g. strategically) offered to watch Ziggy so she could gallivant around London and Europe. Despite the time difference, Andy and Sam Facetimed everyday for those 6 months, and while Sam and Andy were falling in love in different countries…Andy and Ziggy were also falling in love with each other.

Upon returning to the states, Andy and Sam enjoyed growing closer through mutual love of long weekend coffee walks with Ziggy, Virginia Tech sports, celebrating their friends’ weddings, visiting the Farmers’ Bethany beach house, and exploring their love of traveling by taking weekend trips around the country, and visiting Iceland in the dead of winter. They most recently moved to Chicago which has been a whole new adventure, and they are enjoying eating their way through the city. Their relationship has blossomed through a whirlwind of three years, and they are so excited to continue the love and excitement through marriage.

Andy and Sam cannot wait to celebrate their love with family and friends who they cherish and adore the most. They are thrilled for everyone to be part of their journey as they start a new type of adventure as the Farmers!
