As Jacob and Sam got closer to their 10-year anniversary, they decided it was time to make it "official". In early 2023, they designed the ring together, but the final product and timing was going to be a surprise for Sam. The two of them were visiting Toronto in May to celebrate Sam's 30th birthday. They went for a walk, as they usually do in Toronto, through the Toronto Music Garden near their old neighbourhood. Once they were in a private spot, Jacob turned around and got down on one knee. Sam immediately burst into tears of happiness. It was a very special moment in the perfect setting—a blend of the city they love and the nature they often seek refuge in.
