Our Wedding

Our story began with us being the best of friends at Illinois Wesleyan University. We were inseparable, but life had other plans. Arianna moved back to Las Vegas after her first year, and she swore she'd never speak to Sam again. Less than six months later, Sam took his first trip to Las Vegas to visit her. It took just seven days for him to declare to her that he was going to marry her. He went another six times despite the pandemic, and each trip, it got harder and harder to leave Arianna behind. After a year of traveling to Las Vegas, Sam made the big cross country move. It took months of planning and saving, but he took the leap and landed in Arianna's arms. We went everywhere together in Las Vegas, and spent lots of time together with Arianna's family. We were so sure, that we even got pre-engaged promised to one another. After a year there, we took a trip to London and Paris to watch Christopher Tin record his new album at Abbey Road. While in London, we took in the sights, sounds and shows, and loved every second of it. We took a quick hop across the channel on the train, and spent two days in Paris. On the first day in Paris, Sam had arranged a photoshoot. We got all dressed up, and we headed over to the Palais Garnier, the Paris Opera House. There, as the photographer prepared to take the first photo, Sam got down on one knee, and he asked Arianna to marry him. We were now officially engaged! After a few more months, we moved again, this time to Houston, Texas. We adopted two kittens, Apple Jacks and Rigatoni, and we started our business, Doorstep Music Lessons. Now, we're ready to take the next step in our lives together.
