Ours is a story of two people finding each other at exactly the right time, and a love we truly believe only God could have orchestrated. We both came into each other’s lives having experienced our own ups and downs, but also having been incredibly fortunate to grow up surrounded by strong, loving families. Families who taught us the importance of showing up for one another, loving deeply, and always encouraging the people you love to become the very best versions of themselves. Those values became the foundation of our relationship from the very beginning. And then, somehow, we found each other. Naturally, our story began with golf. On our first date, Sam stepped up and hit her first drive, and James says he knew right then he was in love. There was something so effortless about being together. We could laugh, compete, have fun, and completely be ourselves. Getting his butt kicked on the golf course was just a bonus. There’s a saying that goes, “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” That has always felt a little bit like us. Once we found each other, life seemed to unfold all at once, but never in a way that felt rushed. It simply felt right. In such a short amount of time, we became part of each other’s families, met the friends who had shaped our lives, and built relationships with the people who mattered most to each of us. Somehow, it all came together in the most natural, genuine, and fulfilling way. We have skied together, traveled together, gone out together, stayed in together, learned together, laughed endlessly, built a home and a life together. Now, most incredibly, we are preparing to welcome our daughter, Scarlett, into the world. And, of course, no love story of ours would be complete without Gucci and George. Watching our two dogs become one little family alongside us somehow made everything feel even more meant to be. Our story has moved quickly, but our love has always felt grounded. It is a story filled with passion, energy, laughter, adventure, faith, family, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. More than anything, it is a story about finding your person and realizing that the life you were meant to build was waiting for the two of you to find each other. We know that none of this happens alone. Our love has been strengthened by our faith and by the extraordinary community of family and friends surrounding us. Having all of you here to celebrate this next chapter means more to us than we could ever put into words. And while so much life has already happened since we found each other, somehow it still feels like our story is only just beginning.
