In 2012, when Jayde was slaving away at the St. Margaret’s Hospital cafeteria, Sam was home, visiting her friends on leave. After seeing Sam ransack the kitchen, Jayde told Andes that Sam was cute, thinking Andes could keep a secret… he could not. Once finding out, Sam came up to Jayde to spark a conversation. A once shy Jayde ignored Sam and she walked away. Sam, heartbroken and confused, went back to Virginia and Jayde started at St. Ambrose.

Years later, Jayde graduated from Ambrose and Sam moved back home. They ran into each other at Stewie’s in Spring Valley where Jayde started awkwardly waving across the room to say hello to Sam. Once making her way to Jayde, Sam noticed her nails and commented on how badly Jayde needed a fill. That’s when Jayde's heart skipped a beat. We exchanged numbers and became instant friends. Throughout Jayde’s last year at Benedictine University, Sam visited often and they went on dates. After a few months, Sam finally asked if Jayde would be her girlfriend. After graduating at Benedictine, Jayde moved in with Sam and they have two dogs together: Wink and Basil. And now you can catch us September 21, 2024 at 4 PM Central Time saying I Do 🤍
