Sam and Mera’s story began in the hallways of Kaukauna High School, where God gently nudged them together through a shared Spanish class and a circle of mutual friends. What started as Mera asking Sam for help on her Spanish skills quickly grew into something more—an unspoken connection that neither of them could ignore. Sophomore year, they had their first date, unaware that they were taking the first step toward forever. Through the laughter of teenage years, the challenges of growing up, and the excitement of finding themselves, Sam and Mera grew stronger. Their love grew steadily, rooted in friendship and built on trust, patience, and a shared vision for the future. After high school, they both chose paths that reflect their passion and strength—Sam pursued a career as a firefighter and Mera carved her way into the world of construction, both attending FVTC. As they chased their dreams, they also built a beautiful life together after graduation—buying a home together and welcoming a much needed puppy into their lives. Now, after six incredible years side by side, Sam and Mera are ready to begin the next chapter: marriage. They’re most excited to start a family of their own and continue building a life filled with love, laughter, and endless adventure. What started as a high school romance has become a lifelong love story—and they can’t wait for what comes next!

We are thrilled to celebrate our special day at two beautiful and historic locations. Our ceremony will take place at the Old Tabor Church, a charming landmark built in 1891 and lovingly restored to its original charm. This peaceful and timeless venue will set the perfect tone for our vows. Afterward, we invite you to join us for the reception just down the street at The Crescent Ballroom, an extension of the popular Stubborn Brothers Brewery. This classic space will be the perfect setting to continue the celebration with good food, drinks, and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to share this day with you!
