How we met

Summer 2015

Everything happens for a reason ... every person who enters and exits your life serves a purpose. Samantha and Bobby found each other at a time in each of their lives where the stars aligned for them. The love story of Samantha & Bobby dates to the summer of 2015 where they met in the Village of Port Jefferson at Brewology, where Samantha was once employed. Samantha was working behind the bar when she first set her eyes on Bobby. There was an instant spark and connection between the two of them, as if they had known each other for years. It then didn’t take long for him to become one of her regulars, coming into the bar almost every shift that Samantha was working to keep that spark going. In April 2016 Samantha and Bobby went on their first date. Yes, it took almost a year of flirting and getting to know each other before he worked up the courage and asked Samantha to step out from behind the bar and grace him with her presence for an evening. His approach not so graceful (just kidding) and one night he called Samantha and told her “I want to take you out on a date. What is your address I’m coming to pick you up?” Not exactly what Samantha was expecting, he took her to a bar called “The Velvet Lounge”. This was not a place Samantha would typically go to, so she was caught off guard at his date selection. Then Bobby surprised her and did something that took her breath away, when they pulled up to the bar Bobby got out of the car first and walked around to open her door. The location of the date didn’t even matter anymore, she knew in that moment, when the simple things came so natural to him, that he was going to be the one for her. This was the start of the last 5 years for Samantha and Bobby that have been filled with some of the happiest memories of their lives.

The Engagement

12.24.2019

Almost 4 years after their first date, on Christmas Eve 2019, with both of their families together, Bobby asked a question that Samantha was patiently waiting for (well maybe not that patiently, we all know Sam). He got down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage and from that day forward a new chapter in their life started. The love Bobby and Samantha share for each other is not only admirable but inspirational. They are patient and understanding with one another, they are each other’s opposites but complement each other in the most beautiful ways. They both have the kindest souls and love one another unconditionally. Now Bobby and Samantha are asking for you to join them on the most important day of their love story… their wedding day.
