Samuel and Morayma were attending a mutual friend's 21st birthday gathering at The Samler on June 22nd, 2015. While looking through the crowd, Morayma noticed Samuel and his beautiful smile, she was attracted to him in that very moment. Morayma tried to get Samuel's attention, but he was oblivious to her existence. They hung out in the same group of friends every weekend after they had initially met, however there was no interaction between them. Samuel was a shy person, which made it difficult for Morayma to interact with him. Until the night of July 18th at 2:18am, with some liquid courage running through her veins Morayma sent Samuel a DM. Samuel replied instantly. They talked all through the night and the following days, a friendship began to develop. They made plans to hang out around the campfire that same week. They sat around the fire pit for a while before Samuel got the courage to ask Morayma if she wanted a cheese dog, Morayma laughed because that was the first sentence other than “Hi” he had said to her, and she said yes. They spent the rest of the night just talking and getting to know each other, losing track of time. That simple moment is what bonded them to each other. From that moment on they were inseparable. Sam made GiGi feel special and safe and GiGi made Sam feel excited about life and good about himself. They were happy and falling head over heels for each other. They were moving fast; it was a whirlwind love. They made their relationship official on July 30th, 2015, which brings us to their wedding on July 30th, 2022, after 7 years together, to celebrate the good, the bad, the ugly, the crazy and everything in between that makes these two perfect for each other.

The wedding colors- Each of the colors holds a special meaning. Samuel's favorite color is green, green symbolizes nature and Samuel loves the outdoors. Morayma's favorite color is black, black is a color of strength and power, Morayma identifies as a strong woman. The color gold is a warm color, warm colors remind the bride and groom of the summer, a season which holds many fond memories: their love story, their birthdays & the birth of their son. The color white represents the light that they bring each other in moments of darkness. The fire pit- Where Samuel and Morayma first spent time together. Where they have had many meals, where they have discussed serious topics, where they have made up, gather with friends and just enjoyed each other's company. The food- Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine is something that both the bride and groom love. It is a piece of the Morayma that has stayed with her since moving away from Puerto Rico, it's a piece of home to her.
