Samantha and Kyle are both high school teachers and coaches in Montgomery County<\/a>, Maryland. They first met in another type of\u00a0classroom, while they were grad students working on a project at the University of Maryland<\/a>. They\u00a0each felt a spark, but\u00a0were in relationships with other\u00a0people at the time. Mutual friends and a beach trip to Ocean City finally brought them together, and they officially became a couple. They became engaged surrounded by their families on Sam’s birthday, and were married on a lovely Friday evening in July at Springfield Manor Winery and Distillery<\/a> in Thurmont, Maryland.<\/p>\n
