Samuel and I met back in high school, when all the teenagers used to hang out at the same two houses every night eating up all the junk food and listening to music too loud. We were a part of this group of exciting, genuine friends. We developed a sweet friendship, the kind where you can just sit next together on the back of a truck in silence and enjoy the company. Samuel took me to my high school prom but instead of joining the after parties, we drove around country roads and listened to heavy metal with the windows down. We never dated, to my teenage heart's dismay, and as many relationships go, we lost touch for several years. When we reconnected, we both sprung back to life. Samuel brings out only the best in me, the strength and hope and faith. And I believe he'd say the same. It took only a day of catching up with each other to realize we were already best friends, and that friendship only strengthens with time. We love dreaming together, and have big dreams for each other. Thank you for pouring love into our relationship, and joining us for our big celebration! Sincerely, Carly and Samuel
