HOW WE MET!

Once upon a tipsy night on June 14, 2019, destiny threw together a mismatched crew – Celeste, [Your Name], and a shared connection with Sam, the unsuspecting hero of our tale. Little did Sam know that his former roommate/cousin was hosting the gateway to his future love.

It all began when Celeste, [Your Name]'s college roommate and friend, roped everyone into celebrating her cousin's birthday. Sam's house became the accidental rendezvous point, and when we stumbled back from a girls' night out, Celeste's forgetfulness led to a 2 a.m. wake-up call for Sam. Imagine his surprise – four slightly tipsy women on his doorstep, and one of them, [Your Name], turned out to be his dream walking through the door.

As the night unfolded, chit-chatting turned into one-on-one banter at Sam's bar. With a mischievous glint in [Your Name]'s eyes, she threw her favorite peer pressure phrase at him, "You're not down to take a shot." Sam, ever the good sport, responded with, "How do you know my trigger word?" Thus, a single shot sparked the beginning of an epic love story.

Although initially just friends going on hikes and spontaneous trips to Utah, neither Sam nor [Your Name] admitted to any romantic intentions. Eventually, life took its twists and turns, and they parted ways for a while. But fate had other plans.

Thanks to some matchmaking efforts by Zuly, [Your Name]'s cousin, and Cesar, Sam's brother, the stars realigned. On July 17, 2021, Sam mustered up the courage to send [Your Name] a message. He invited her for a drink, but she had other plans – two LAFC tickets burning a hole in her pocket. Ever the clever one, she proposed a game date instead.

On July 24, 2021, the duo decided to hang out, and from that day forward, Sam and [Your Name] became inseparable. Thus, their unique and charming love story unfolded, proving that sometimes, the best relationships begin with a shot and a playful challenge.

And they lived happily ever after – or at least, they're living it right now. Cheers to love, laughter, and the unexpected journeys that bring two hearts together!
