We're getting married

Samantha and Michael’s love story began over nine years ago during their senior year of high school. Their first date took place on 11/11/2016... a number that would go on to mark so many meaningful moments in their journey. From prom dates to high school, college and master’s graduations, long-distance chapters, first jobs, and summers spent down the shore, they’ve grown up side by side. On 11/11/2024, another milestone fell into place when their offer was accepted and they bought their first home together. With the incredible help of their family, they fully renovated it from the inside out, turning it into a place filled with love, laughter, and memories. Longwood Gardens has always held a special place in Samantha’s heart, filled with cherished childhood memories alongside her grandparents and cousins. So when Michael got down on one knee there just before Christmas, unknowingly at 11:11, it felt like everything had come full circle. Now, almost a decade after that first date, Samantha and Michael are so excited to celebrate their wedding at Atlantic City Country Club on April 23, 2026, and begin their next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
