Steve and Sam met in March 2014 at De Kleine Duivel, when Steve was out on "beer rounds" with several coworkers, and Sam was working. Their eyes met across the room, Steve came to talk with Sam later in the evening, and Sam asked for his number. Their first kiss was shortly thereafter, in a quiet snowfall in the Inner Harbor on St Patrick's Day. Their first hike was to Gunpowder State Park. Their first trip together was to Philadelphia, and their first international trip was to Austria and Lisbon (pictured above). Sam first (really!) learned how to ride a bike with Steve and Sophi in summer 2016, and Sam and Sophi continue to think Steve's downhill mountain bike ventures at Seven Springs are terrifying. Steve still (really!) doesn't know how to fold a fitted sheet. They bought their first (and current) home in June 2017. On August 30, 2019, we will be getting married at the Baltimore County Courthouse with Sophi, our parents, and grandparents, as witnesses.
