We met the "old fashioned way": through friends! Sam had just moved in with some college classmates, one of whom invited their old camp counselor buddy Shayne to the housewarming party. Sam, characteristically, needed to make a store run for last minute party supplies - and Shayne, characteristically, was the first guest to arrive and offered to help. Neither had us had any idea that spring of 2012 that we were sitting in the car with our future life partner. Over the course of the next year and a half, we would reconnect casually every few weeks - a social media exchange here, a group trivia night there - both intrigued, but unsure of how the other felt. That is, until Sam's 22nd birthday party, where Shayne had arrived early to prepare a surprise birthday dinner. We went on our first official date the next day... and the rest is history. In the years since that fateful birthday party, we have weathered the high highs and low lows that come with a decade of loving partnership: celebrating each other's successes, supporting each other through the storms, and growing together through the seasons of our lives. And if you're reading this, you have been an integral part of our love story and a treasured member of our shared community. We are so excited to celebrate with you!
