Sam and I met in Illini Tower at the University of Illinois. I was hired as an RA and met Sam after he returned from his trip to Italy. In our first encounter he showed my family and I how to get out of the IT parking garage! He helped me make door decorations for my residents and we hit it off right away. A few weeks later we were together. After two and a half years of dating Sam surprised me one night with a proposal. He got down on one knee in a heart of candles and rose petals in my tiny dorm room. It was so sweet! We were engaged on January 30th, 2008!

Sam and I plan to be married at the Hyatt Regency- Woodfield in Schaumburg, Illinois on June 27, 2009.

We are so excited about spending our special day with all of our loved ones. Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing time in our lives!

Love, Sam & Michelle
