We met on the first day of orientation at California Maritime Academy. Throughout our time at CMA, we had many classes together, but it wasn’t until a new year’s kiss in 2018 that started our journey. Ever since, we have traveled around the world together, started our careers in the Maritime industry, and completed many.. many car projects.

Sam and Jess were going on a sunset beach walk before meeting up with some friends for dinner. What Jess didn’t know was that Sam had family and friends at the beach setting up a beautiful arch with roses. When Sam and Jess walked along the beach and came up on the romantic setup, Sam got down on one knee and asked Jess to marry him. As soon as Jess said “YES” everyone ran out to hug them and celebrate!
