Sam and Liam’s love story started quietly, shared across time zones and glowing laptop screens. Weekly Zoom calls between coworkers slowly transformed into hours of laughter, vulnerable conversations, and a bond neither expected. When life brought Sam to London, the spark between them became something undeniable.

After three years, a beloved cat, and a transatlantic return to the U.S., they were ready for the next chapter. Hidden in the tall grasses of Rockefeller Park, I watched as Liam guided Sam into a golden field that felt plucked from the scenes of Pride and Prejudice, a whisper of the English countryside where their story found several chapters. The moment Sam realized what was happening—their joy was radiant.
