Our adventure together began in 2019 when we matched online. Our first date was at Kuma's Corner, a heavy metal-themed burger bar, where we instantly clicked. From the start, it was clear we had something special.

In 2020, we moved in together, transitioning from the Arlington Heights area to our little brown house in Lake in the Hills. In this home, we began building our life together, filling it with love, memories, and two adorable kitty boys, Coco and Tony.

Fast forward to 2024, after five wonderful years together, Joe surprised Sam with an enchanting trip to the South of France and tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix. During a breathtaking walk along the beach on the Mediterranean Sea in Nice, France, Joe got down on one knee and proposed. It was a romantic and magical moment we will cherish forever.

We are so excited to start this new chapter of our lives and can't wait to celebrate our love with all of you. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
