Swipe Right for Forever

All it took was one swipe on bumble for these lovebirds to meet. After their first date at Vanish Brewery, they both knew their search for love was over. Since then, their relationship has flourished through their love of creating art, late-night dance parties at home, exploring craft breweries, and simply learning everything about each other.

The Proposal

Nathan proposed to Samm on Halloween 2020 (her favorite holiday)! Nathan asked Samm to go to Harpers Ferry on Halloween morning to see people walking around town dressed in historic costumes. Samm was completely on board and didn't think anything of it! The two took a walk by the water before going into town, and that's where it all began. Their song is "Two Rocking Chairs" by Jon Bellion and Nathan handcrafted two rocking chairs with their names carved into them to grow old together in (cue the tears again)! The chairs were sitting at the end of a bridge by the river while their song played. That's when Samm knew... THIS IS IT, he's proposing! As they walk out onto the bridge, all of their closest friends and family come out from underneath in Halloween costumes - and there, at the end of the bridge, Nathan got down on a knee and Samm said YES!
