How it all began…

“I saw her and knew I couldn’t leave without her phone number. The next step was building up enough courage to ask her for it.”

— Sam

“The minute I saw those big green eyes of his, I knew there was no chance I could leave without learning his name. It was the best, and easiest, decision I’ve ever made.”

— Darby

Sam and Darby.

Darby and Sam met in June of 2017 at Kansas State University’s summer band camp. The two lived in separate cities, making time for each other on the weekends. The couple went to college in Iowa, Darby graduating from Drake University and Sam graduating from Iowa State University. They had been together for five years before Sam popped the question (in the most romantic way possible)! Darby and Sam now live in Denver, CO with their two adorable cats, Sheba and Suki.

Almost six years after their first date, the two find themselves falling in love more and more each day. Here’s to forever!

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
