A South Bend townie and a Seattlelite grew up over 2K miles away from each other, having no clue the other existed…until fate had them cross paths at a party to begin their final school year in 2019. A friendship sparked, crushes were formed, and Jonny finally gained the courage to pop the question..." Would you wanna go to Chick- fil- A on Wednesday...just the two of us?”. That Chick- fil- A date sealed the deal♥️ Following graduation, we would embark on 3 & 1/2 years of long-distance. Dozens upon dozens of love letters, flying back and forth between Chicago, South Bend, and Seattle, and hours of Face Times led to October of 2023. We packed the rental car and took Sam’s belongings cross-country to move her to Seattle. No matter the distance or being in the same city, choosing to wake up and love one another each and every day has and always will be the greatest decision of our lives. Jonny’s curiosity, sense of humor, and being a child at heart has brought such light to Sam’s life. Sam’s immense care for others, sense of adventure, and bomb Spotify playlists have touched Jonny’s heart and ears. No matter the hour or what lies ahead, we will always hold tight to the love and care we have for one another until death do us part. We are so thankful to be surrounded by caring, supportive, and loving family and friends who have been a huge part of our story. We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you in the city and campus where our love story began! Besties for life! Love Always, The future Mr. & Mrs. Lindell
