Steve and Sam first met through their longtime friends, Ashley and Austin. One night, Austin brought Steve over to the apartment Sam shared with Ashley—and from that moment on, he was a constant presence in Sam's life. At the time, Sam was just months away from moving to Omaha, but meeting Steve changed everything.

As they grew closer, Sam and Steve discovered they had more in common than they ever imagined. Their parents—Connie, Brian, and Greg—all attended high school together. Remarkably, Sam's Grandpa Butler and Steve's Grandma Canon grew up just a few houses apart in the same small town. These connections made them believe that an invisible string had been guiding them toward each other all along.

Over the past three and a half years, they've shared countless special moments. Whether dining at their favorite restaurant, Aposto, spending time at the Lake of the Ozarks, or enjoying cozy movie marathons, their love has continued to grow. Their little family has also expanded, with their adorable puppy, Mac, completing the trio. As they look to the future, Steve and Sam are excited to build a life filled with love, laughter, and new adventures—treasuring each moment as they write the next chapter of their story together.
