Once upon a time, in an upstate university far far away, both Samara and Austin attended college. Unbeknownst of each other's existence, they went upon their daily lives and even attended some of the same parties.

As time went on they both graduated in separate classes and entered the real world on their own. Still, they did not know of one another.

Fast forward to 2014, Samara's friends were going to a house warming party on a roof for a mutual friend. She was hesitant to go as staying in sounded pretty nice, but it was hard for her to turn away a night out with the girls!

Austin on the other hand, heard about the gathering from one of the friends he was out with and with no other better plans for the night, decided to attend.

As Austin entered the rooftop, Samara looked up and they locked eyes. He even did a double take! Later that night he gained the courage to go up to her and her friends and they started chatting about business ideas. As the party neared the end, they exchanged numbers. Austin tried to meet up with her later at a bar, but it had been raided. A few days later, he added her on Facebook, invited her to his birthday and the rest was history!

On their 6th dating anniversary on October 28th 2020, Austin and Samara had been quarantining in the middle of a Pandemic. Even though they couldn't leave or do much, Austin knew he wanted to make the night special! He suggested a home cooked dinner on their roof to watch the sunset. To Samara's surprise it wasn't like any other anniversary dinner. Austin finally popped the question with balloons, champagne, and a few of their closest friends to help him out! She said yes and the night was perfect!

Over 7 years later, these two Cuse alum bond over their shared love for fine dining, traveling the world, and being a little bit weird. After attending about 30+ weddings for their friends and family, it's time to celebrate theirs!
