How We Met

First came orientation, then came law school, and here comes marriage.

Danielle and Sam met on the first day of Law School Orientation. Danielle was in the Forum collecting her morning coffee and snacks when she turned around and bumped into Barry, a friend of Sam's. As she watched her coffee spill onto Barry, she immediately apologized and offered to introduce him to her friends. While Danielle was introducing everyone, Sam walked up. Cocky and confident, and before Barry could even speak, Sam placed his left hand on Barry's shoulder and slipped out his right to as an introduction to Danielle. Lifting his head, he said, "Hey, I'm Sam." Danielle instantly thought, "Ya, no, he is trouble." During orientation, their friend groups merged, and Danielle and Sam found each other together more than expected. In one orientation briefing, Professor Sherwin joked that he sat next to his wife during this meeting twenty years ago. After having sat next to each other, Sam and Danielle thought this was hilarious. Once school started, Sam started calling Danielle every morning at 6 a.m. to make sure she was awake for their pre-class study session at 7 a.m. Sam and Danielle sat next to each other in every class their first semester, were fans of sneaking away from the Law School for Taco Tuesdays, and found each other at all the after law school events. They spent their first year dancing together at Atomic, watching movies at Sam's house, and communicating with each other with a single look in class. You could always find them together, insisting every time it was mentioned, "Ew.. no, we are not ending up married." After a Summer stuck in Lubbock, Texas, as some of the only law students in town, they found each other hanging out more than before. From working in the same building to endless hangouts at O Bar and finding any pool they could sneak into. Their favorite time was together. After a fateful trip to Buffalo Springs Lake, which ended up being the same place Sam proposed, they realized they could not stop thinking about each other. It was a beautiful friendship that led them to promise each other a lifetime of marriage.
