It all started on June 13, 2003 when Amanda thought she was heading out as a third wheel; fate had other plans. Sam happened to also be there that night and what began as an awkward game of pool in Narragansett turned into a beach walk under the stars. Somewhere between the crashing waves, a borrowed long-sleeve shirt and a spontaneous kiss by the ruins, something clicked. They both discovered they liked the same music, which is their love language. (Sam even had Amanda’s dad’s band’s CD; instant bonus points). Sam had joined the Navy but, that didn’t stop them from becoming pen pals. Over the years, their paths crossed in different ways and different times. Sometimes close, sometimes from afar. But as life would have it, the timing finally lined up and now they are walking down the aisle instead of the shoreline... this time saying “I do” for good.
