Lydia and Sam's story began back in 2017, when they first met through mutual friends at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. At first, they hit it off as fast friends, enjoying group outings and conversations, but never really considering each other romantically. Then, after Sam graduated, Lydia invited him to her junior year homecoming. Sam happily accepted, but even then, their relationship remained platonic. Fast forward to December 2022, when fate intervened and brought them back together. Encouraged by their mutual friends, they embarked on a double date, and sparks flew. Their deep-rooted friendship provided a solid foundation, and before long, they realized that what they had was more than just friendship. Now, what started as years of camaraderie has blossomed into a lifelong love story. Sam and Lydia are excited to share this special moment with all of you as they embark on the next chapter of their journey together.
