May 2025 - We say I Do

As fate would have it, the fall of 2022 Sam started selling his first Rudimentary products across the street from the shop Maggie managed, Civil Alchemy. After dropping off some samples, Sam wandered into Civil Alchemy. Sam then spent the next few months becoming a “regular” looking for A Cup Of Sunshine Tea even though he was told time after time the shop discontinued the tea. After a few purchases and great conversations, Maggie decided to check out a local pop-up where Sam was showing his latest clothing. Although Sam was steady with his pursuit, Maggie was consumed with a career change and planning a family wedding, so the two continued on separate paths.

A few months had passed and Maggie reconnect with Sam for a coffee date - little did we know we would have a weekly coffee date for the next 16 months and this would become our favorite part of each others week.

September 2023, Sam and Maggie had a picnic at Laumeier Sculpture Park which to date is still both of their favorite date and unbeknownst to Maggie, the moment Sam decided he should start saving for a ring.

In the next 16 months we traveled to Arkansas State, Austria, Netherlands, Washington State, Germany, and Denmark meeting dear friends and family along the way.

December 2024 quickly came and we had a trip to Germany and Denmark planned. With a minor hiccup 4 days prior (Maggie having emergency appendicitis) we were on our way! After dreamy Christmas markets, endless cups of coffee, and delicious winter treats, Maggie was unsure the trip could get much better until December 12th when Sam got down on a knee (basically fell from nerves) while in a quaint park in Copenhagen. We spent the rest of the trip soaking in the engagement and cherishing our time while abroad.

Now, we head to the alter spring 2025 to say I do and we cannot wait to celebrate an intimate wedding with our loved ones!
