Brooks and Samantha met in Lynchburg, Virginia at Liberty University. After growing up in Tacoma, Washington, Brooks attended Liberty University on a baseball scholarship. Samantha grew up on a farm near Champion, Alberta, and attended Liberty on an ice hockey scholarship. Samantha and Brooks met in January of 2014, through mutual friends and soon began dating. A few months down the road, the two spent a weekend in Myrtle Beach, and realized how much they loved each other. From then on, they were inseparable. Upon graduation two years later, Brooks and Samantha moved to Seattle. A year later, Brooks proposed while the two were walking along the waterfront; their favourite spot! After much planning, Brooks and Samantha are so excited to begin this next step in their lives together, and cannot wait to celebrate with you all!
