Like every great story, ours begins in none other than White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Mackenzie had flown in to visit two of her college friends and get a taste of what the 406 was all about. What she didn’t realize was that this trip was about to change her life. While in town, Mackenzie opened up a dating app and came across Samuel. At that very same moment, Samuel saw Mackenzie’s profile and texted one of his old classmates—who just so happened to be Mackenzie's friend—to see if she could set them up. Fate, right? The day we met, we did what most people do in the 406–went shooting. That kicked off a day and evening filled with easy conversation and instant connection. The next day, Mackenzie flew home to California… but that didn’t slow us down one bit. From that point on, we spent every night FaceTiming, texting, and building a connection that only grew stronger—despite the miles between us. What started as a lucky match quickly became something we both knew was special. That unexpected meeting in Montana was just the beginning... and now, we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with all of you—our wedding day!
