Although Sam and Grace were initially introduced their freshman year of college, they didn't go on their first date till nearly midway through senior year!

Their first date took place at Vincenzo's in Lincoln, the same place where Sam ultimately decided to ask Grace to marry him a little over a year later. Shortly after graduation from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Grace moved to Dallas and Sam to Seattle. They both enjoyed getting to visit one another in their new cities, and with many airline miles later, Grace decided to leave Dallas and join Sam in the Pacific Northwest. Anxiously awaiting their wedding date in June 2025, Sam and Grace have enjoyed every minute of their engagement and can't wait to celebrate the many years together to come.
