Cristian & Samantha

Our Story

The Wedding Website of Samantha Recinos and Cristian Gleason

Cristian & Sam's love story began during the pandemic in 2020, when we matched on a dating app and planned a "socially distant" first date. Cristian suggested a walk through Golden Gate Park and brought his family's Golden Retriever, Bailey. Who could resist a Golden?! We connected immediately, talked for hours and walked over 6 miles that day! We quickly realized this relationship was something special & have been inseparable since! Fast forward five years, our Bay Area love story has only grown stronger. Settled into our respective careers, Cristian, a firefighter for the San Jose Fire Dept., and Sam, the Assistant Admissions Director at St. Ignatius, decided to take the next step. On Thanksgiving '24, Cristian surprised Sam by proposing in front of both our families and the rest is history! We are so excited for you to share this special day with us, as we have been blessed with such incredible family and friends. We look forward to celebrating with you all!
