(This is our first picture together.)

The summer of 2016, Kursten had just returned from her study abroad in Spain and was working regularly at her internship with the Milwaukee Radio Alliance (FM102.1, B93.3, & Fonz FM100.3). Sam coincidentally also worked there as a team lead. They started chatting while working the station booth at Summerfest. Sam made the first move and asked her if she had seen the film Almost Famous. She hadn't. She watched it later that night and loved it. Later that week, he asked her on a date to get froyo. The date was going so well that they decided to also get Kopp's. The rest is history.

After waiting several years to reschedule due to the pandemic, Kursten and Sam finally went on their European vacation in April 2023. They began the trip in London. Sam couldn't wait a day into the vacation to pop the question and proposed on a perfectly sunny morning in front of a waterfall in Hyde Park. From there, they enjoyed the rest of their vacation exploring museums, pubs, shops, historical sites, and more in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and Amsterdam.

Today, they spend most of their time entertaining their sweet dog, Andi, spending time outdoors, visiting their favorite Milwaukee spots, and figuring out their next travel destination.
