Sam and René met one fateful night at a Phi Gamma Delta (“Fiji”) party at Cornell. René, a Fiji brother, was busy bartending (read: pouring cups of Franzia), when Sam eyed him from across the room. “Wow, that guy is so cute,” she exclaimed to her friend. Naturally, her friend ran over and told René, who in turn wanted Sam’s number. Sam’s friend dragged her over to the bar, where René made his proposal: “I have to bartend right now, but maybe I can get your number and we can hang out later?” Imagine René’s surprise when Sam said “maybe” and walked away, not to be seen for the rest of the night. Little did he know that Sam thought he was way out of her league, and must be joking! A month later, they ran into each other again and René remembered Sam’s name. They exchanged numbers, went on their first date at Waffle Frolic, and the rest is history! They’ve had an amazing eight years together, and can’t wait to tie the knot.
