AK and I met working at Barnes and Noble - and bonded over a mutual love of books, tea, cats, and the Renaissance Faire! I think one of the very first things we did together was visit a tea shop, and having tea together remains one of our favorite activities. I count myself lucky to have Anya as a friend, and I can't wait to see her get married!!!

Will met Sam and AK at GCSU towards the beginning of their college lives and instantly hit it off with them. He is incredibly fortunate to have them in his life and has enjoyed the adventures they have all gone on. After 7 years of laughing together, Will is excited to see Sam and AK step into their next big adventure.

I met AK through Sam nearly 6 years ago! We went to hang out after his place on West Campus and got to meet AK there before they were going out. I still remember Sam gushing about how wonderful she was and how excited I was to meet her after hearing that.

Sam and I met during the first semester of college through mutual friends. I have a wonderful memory of us staying up way too late the night before finals. We talked for hours, swapping family stories and arguing who would make the better history teacher (it's Sam).

Sabrina met Anya when she and Sam first started dating in college at Georgia College and State University. It was a brief first meeting because Sam was trying to avoid his sister embarrassing him too much, but that brief meeting turned into a friendship and soon-to-be sisterhood that is unbreakable.

I've known Sam since we met in college through his wife-to-be. My earliest memory of Sam was sitting in the student center, playing Mario kart and being too loud. Fairly soon after, we became roommates which led to a lasting friendship I cherish to this day.

I met AK for the first time on our college campus, when she was playing guitar outside the music building. Initially intimidated by her musical ability and immaculate outfit, we sparked a conversation that eventually led to a strong friendship. From college roommates to helping each other move to the Atlanta area, I'm proud to call her my dear friend!

Sam just popped into my life at Georgia College, practically out of thin air, and has been a delight to know ever since. I've been blessed to get to know both him and AK over these past years of friendship, from chilling in our apartments to exploring DC and New Orleans. I wish them both the best in this next step of their lives.

I met AK in my junior year of college because I joined a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that both Sam and AK were in. Since then, we've grown closer as friends and hang out almost every week, usually playing video games, trivia, or chatting past midnight.

Ben has been close friends with the groom and bride since their college years. One of his first encounters with Sam led to a 4-hour brainstorming session creating a new fantasy species complete with a culture and history, and that meshing of wavelengths has stayed strong ever since.

I met AK in college when we were studying music together at GCSU. We were in a variety of classes and ensembles together as well as we were SAI sisters for a few semesters!

I actually met AK first at GCSU, but played a small role in helping these perfectly matched lovebirds begin their story together and I am thankful to be able to call Sam a close friend. From sharing jokes to double dates and music, there is nothing quite like the joy that Sam and AK bring to my life. I hope all the following chapters of their love story story be as wonderful as they are.
