Sam and Dylan first met in 2019 through the Steering Committee for Dance Marathon at BGSU (Pictures below!). That year Sam, in her final year of undergrad, was serving on the executive team for Dance Marathon and Dylan, in his first year of graduate school, was the logistics chair for Bike-For-Tikes.

While that year's event and bike ride was cancelled due to COVID-19, they both ended up staying in Bowling Green, Ohio for the next chapter of their lives!

They reconnected in the summer of 2021 and Sam may have slept through their planned first date BUT they officially started dating that same summer

Flash forward to Summer of 2022, while on a trip to Seattle after Sam finished her Master's program Dylan proposed at their Air-BnB the second night into our trip. They often made the joke saying "wanna get married" throughout their relationship, so when he got down on one knee - Sam said "ditto" NOT knowing he was being serious!

They are excited to spend the rest of their lives together, with their cats Talia & Walnut (Also pictures below)
