Our Story
Riley and Sam both went to Washington and Lee. Even at a school with fewer than two thousand students, we never crossed paths — though we did share a yearbook page. We finally met years later in Washington, DC, both with a couple of master’s degrees under our belts. During the early days of the pandemic, we sought shelter in whatever restaurants or bars would have us. We must have put over a hundred miles on our shoes, just to spend a few more minutes together.
Riley proposed to Sam in our favorite city Charleston, SC with both of our families present. Riley surprised Sam during what was supposed to be a @SweetTeaWithMadi photoshoot in beautiful Philadelphia Alley. With the church bells ringing, Riley took a knee and popped the question. Luckily, yes was Sam’s answer.
A few of our favorite memories together include traveling to Paris together (and leaving separately), adopting our cat Lars and driving him home from NC, holiday eves at The Deck, and the slow nights at home when we can unwind together. We can’t wait to see you in Amsterdam. Tot gauw!
