Samantha and Edward first met at the end of 2022 while working together. They’d exchange a few words and looks here and there, but it wasn’t until February of 2023 that Ed spontaneously asked Sam to go out for a drink after work. Their first ‘date’ was entirely platonic, but it was clear they both enjoyed each other’s company and got along really well. After exchanging messages on Instagram, they decided to go out for another round of drinks. It was that night where sparks began to fly and the pair warmed up to each other (with the help of a few shots of Jameson, of course). They sealed the lovely date with a kiss and have been together ever since!

After dating for a nearly a year and a half and being head over heels in love, Sam and Ed took a summer vacation to Croatia. Sam’s family is from the beautiful city of Dubrovnik, and it is a place near and dear to her heart, as she’d spent every summer there since she was a child. While there on June 30th, 2024, Ed popped the big question during sunset overlooking the Adriatic Sea from the top of a mountain. It was everything Sam could’ve ever dreamed of.

Fast forward to today, Sam and Ed are happily engaged and planning one of the most important and exciting days of their lives. They look forward to coming together and celebrating their forever love with all of their closest friends and family in September!
