Our story began when we met on September 22, 2022 (Sam’s 23rd birthday)! We met at Christ Community Church in West Chester at a worship night. Our friendship grew from going to church and attending the young adults Bible study where we became friends. We soon became great friends and were inseparable. We have always loved laughing together, just being ourselves, spending time with one another, and being best friends. We have been along side each other on our faith journeys encouraging one another to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. It didn’t take us long to realize that we were soulmates, we were destined to spend our lives together and build a family. We have been building a relationship firmly rooted in God, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of our lives and family. Sam proposed on July 3, 2025 with decorations and a special homemade meal. Jessica joyfully said yes! Together, we have chosen to place Christ at the center of our lives, striving to glorify and honor God in everything we do. We officially got married at our church Mission Community Church in Downingtown on November 1, 2025 beside our parents, our pastor and his wife, our son Malachi, and most importantly, God. We chose to have a small, intimate ceremony to honor God as soon as we could. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, that reflects the profound love of Christ for His people. Our desire is to raise our family in a faith-filled home, prioritizing God and exemplifying sacrificial love. We are so blessed for how God has been working in our lives and we are excited to see what the rest of His plans for us are. We are looking forward to celebrating our love on our wedding day with family and friends on August 1, 2026! For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;     do not depend on your own understanding.  Seek his will in all you do,     and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28
