We are so excited that California has reopened, and so has our venue! In order to keep our loved ones safe, we are requiring all guests to be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and provide a negative Covid-19 test result taken within 72 hours prior to attending. You can show either physical proof or a photo on your phone. If vaccination is not possible (and we understand it may not be), please plan to not attend. We will be live-streaming the ceremony so that you can celebrate with us from a distance. Thank you again so much for your love and support. This has been — and remains — an extremely difficult time and we so value all of the empathy and grace you have given us as we do our best to start our marriage in a way that doesn't endanger the lives of those we love best in the world.

We met on the show American Ninja Warrior. No, we weren't contestants, but were both working behind the scenes! If you ask Nick, we met while working on the St. Louis episode, but Sam thinks it wasn't until Miami. Sparks didn't fly until we connected again on while working on another show a few months later, Hell's Kitchen. Nick asked Sam on a date, and the rest is history!

After almost 4 years of dating to the day, Nick proposed to Sam while they were at home. There was music, happy tears, and, of course, celebratory pizza. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
