"Sweet kicks, brah."

It was marching band camp the summer before Sam's freshman year at Cal, and for some reason she thought it would be a good idea to wear Nike Dunk high-tops the whole time. (Terrible idea, actually. Hard to march in.) Then-junior Ben thought to compliment her shoes, but thanks to his trademark poker face and dry delivery, Sam thought he was being sarcastic. Kinda mean, actually. Like, jeez, they're nice shoes! Don't make fun of me!

Anyways, being in college marching band together means you hang out all the time and bond over Cal being bad at most major revenue sports, and so eventually they fell in love or whatever. Here, enjoy some Cal-related pictures. You can tell which ones are old and which ones aren't by how long Sam's hair is.
