The Beginning of Always

We met on Tinder when Sam was home for a two-week Christmas break from the Army, not knowing that a swipe would turn into something so lasting. After that short week together, we were separated when Sam returned to Fort Sam Houston to finish her Army medic training. But even from miles apart, we stayed connected through constant texts, FaceTime calls, and Snapchat streaks in our minimal free time. When Sam graduated from her training and came back home, it felt like no time had passed - just a natural continuation of something that had already grown so strong. We became inseparable, and since then, we’ve tackled life side by side: living together, earning three degrees between us, raising our sweet dog, and even navigating time living apart again. Through it all, we’ve grown, changed, and always found our way back to each other. Now, we’re so excited to officially start this next chapter — and we’re beyond grateful to celebrate it with you.
