Samantha & her good friend, Sarah, were grabbing drinks at the Standard Beer Garden in Meatpacking when they noticed a lonely chap at the bar. They soon invited him to join them for dinner. After a unique dinner, this British man told Samantha he had just the guy for her... his mate Stu. But, he was across the pond. "Gee, Thanks Daniel." As fate would have it, Stu was visiting Miami 3 months later while Samantha was on a bachelorette party. Daniel put his cupid fingers to work when he noticed this while scrolling through Facebook. Stuart wouldn't message a stranger, so no surprise Samantha did. They arranged to meet the next night after dinner. In typical Stuart fashion, he booked a table for a friends birthday at Mynt lounge, which happened to be across the street from where she was eating at Baoli. They busted it down and spoke on the beach until they passed out & Stuart had to run to catch his flight back to England. After being pen pals they fizzed to IG stalking until Stuart finally arranged to see her on his next business trip in New York. By the end of the weekend, Samantha had a flight booked to London for the following month. They went on to meet up around the world every 2 to 4 weeks for 1.5 years. Then with little convincing, Samantha moved to London & the rest is history!!
