How We Met

First comes friendship, then comes marriage.

We first met back in 7th grade through friends, and Sam quickly became Michael's first crush-though he was too shy to talk to her. Fast forward to Junior Prom, when Michael got up the courage to ask Sam to the dance, only to be turned down (she had a boyfriend!). Though we didn't end up going together, we kept in touch and even dated for a brief period when we were both home from college over holiday break. Sadly, the timing just wasn't right. Over the next few years, we kept in touch here and there as friends... until one fateful day in 2019, when Sam accidentally sent Michael a Facebook message. His persistence finally paid off, and we quickly became inseparable. Two years later, we bought our first home and adopted another rescue pup together. Now a family of 5 (including a cat, Gus, and two dogs, Teddy & Tucker), we couldn't be more excited to officially tie the knot-and are even more excited to celebrate our marriage with you!

For all the days along the way
