Sam & I met through the love of fitness at Emerge. Sam trained me for almost a year and had an amazing friendship since we had a lot of similarities. We went on our first date at Rack House then went axe throwing. The thing about both of us is...we’re both very competitive. At the time, Sam didn’t know this about me and was trying to be a gentleman and play easy on me since it was my first time throwing an axe. Then he realized I was pretty decent and had to step up his game. He did beat me but I wasn’t happy about it! He continued to woo me with his gentleman charm & soft heart. Sam grew up as a godly man and was different in many ways, especially in the way he showed his love, being vulnerable and expressing his emotions in ways I’d never seen. I was drawn very close to him because of the way he communicated his love for me. It was very important to Sam from the beginning of our dating for us to build our relationship around our faith & God. We made it a priority to find a church that we both loved and where we felt comfortable. We landed at Element Church and are excited to be a part of such a great community of people who love God. After months of dating, Sam finally met Wyatt and Nora and that’s when I knew he was perfect! He stepped up and loved them unconditionally so easily. He’s treated them like his own since day-one and built such amazing relationship with both kids. We have built a strong family together and we can’t wait to see what our next chapter of life brings us! We're so excited to share our big day with all our closest family & friends!
