Sam and Paige officially met on a night out in 2017 in the White Heart in Ampthill, a pub they loved to go to when Sam was playing at Ampthill RFC. Sam moved down to Bedford from Bristol to play rugby in 2016 and saw Paige working in the clothing shop ‘Outfit’ and said to his groomsman Joe Bercis, “I’m going to take her on a date”…little did he know he was going to marry her! Sam asked Paige to be his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day February 2019, what a romantic. Sam and Paige bought their first House in Houghton Conquest in May 2021. Sam set up the most beautiful proposal on a yacht in Dubai, next to the Burj Al Arab and asked Paige to marry him May 2023!
