Danielle and Sam connected on the dating app Bumble, where they bonded over their mutual love of shrimp. Their first date was at Mama's On the Half Shell in Canton, where they had plenty to talk and laugh about. While life led them in different directions—Danielle to Boston and Sam to the mountains of Virginia—love always found a way. Danielle and Sam enjoy visiting breweries, wineries, and exploring the world around them. They both bring a unique perspective on life to their relationship, Danielle being "the rock" and Sam being "the balloon."
