Sam decided she was done playing games. She was going to date “for science,” being completely upfront about what she wanted: a husband, a best friend, a real partnership.
Meanwhile, Conrad had his own realization. If you’re going to do this marriage thing anyway, why not aim for the absolute best partner you can find?
When he saw Sam’s profile on Hinge, he thought, “This girl is so genuinely herself, how is that even possible?”
Their first date was at a ramen place. Sam had never had ramen before, so she let Conrad order for her. They talked for hours. When dinner ended, she suggested ice cream. Right there at that little ice cream shop, they planned their second date.
That second date at Oak and Ola is still Sam’s favorite. Conrad brought gorgeous flowers wrapped in fancy paper. They were seated at an intimate corner table, and then Sam did something that changed everything: she moved her chair to Conrad’s side of the table to share food and people-watch.
That’s when Conrad fell in love.
Two years later, they got married at the Mansion at Bald Hill in Connecticut. Sam, a Florida girl, got her dream fall wedding surrounded by New England autumn leaves. Small, intentional, and so beautifully them.
