How We Met

Just a night out with friends...

We met in February of 2017 at a bar in Philadelphia called Graffiti bar. John was out with a friend and his sister, Maggie and now husband, Justin. Samantha was out with some college friends. John supposedly picked Samantha out of the crowd. They both had great wing men and woman who encouraged them to talk to each other. After some conversation John asked Samantha for her number before she left with her friends. After texting a bit the next day he asked her on a date. They shared twelve dollar sushi and split the check. The rest is history. They spent time living in Philadelphia, Baltimore and now Buffalo with their fur baby Alfie. We are so excited to celebrate our special day with all of you in the city where it all began.

For all the days along the way
