welcome to our forever

Sam and Esther happened to meet over some “coffee and bagels”. IYKYK. Sam sparked up a conversation with Esther and ever since the first “Hi, I’m Sam!”, he instantly became a constant in Esther’s life. We were both undergraduate students navigating the uncertainty of our futures. Sam had his path set to go towards the medical field. Esther followed her goal to work with children. It may have been a bit of trauma bonding from academic stress, but we started to build a strong connection. We knew how to support each other and were understanding of each other’s hardships. Through God’s grace and love, we soon walked on our paths towards a promising future together. Sam pursued anesthesiology. Esther pursued pediatric behavior analysis. Despite the crazy pandemic and the hurdles that life threw at us, we continued to do our best to walk on the path God set forth for us and held each other’s hands through every step. It was becoming clear to both of us that we were meant to be in each other’s lives.

One of Sam’s greatest success was planning a proposal and proposing without Esther knowing. Esther thinks she is quick and “눈치 빨라“, but it may be that Sam just lets her think that way. On a beach in Florida, away from others (because Esther would have froze if there were other people), Sam proposed. We were committed to a long engagement, but that seemed fitting for us and our relationship. We have a slow burn type of love, and enjoy the slow life. This season of our relationship will truly be unforgettable and we can’t wait for our wedding to share this love with all our loved ones.
