We’re Getting Married!

Our story begins the modern way—on Hinge, a dating app where we both decided to take a chance (and thankfully didn’t delete the app first). What started as a few messages quickly turned into nonstop laughter, effortless conversation, and the realization that this might be something really special. From the very beginning, Luke’s calm, humor, and heart balanced perfectly with Samantha’s energy (sass), warmth, and love for adventure. Before we knew it, we were spending every moment together—traveling, laughing through everyday chaos, and building a relationship that felt like home. Somewhere along the way, Luke earned the very fitting nickname “Lukie Pookie,” and it stuck. In Nashville, during what Samantha thought was just another fun trip, Luke completely surprised her with the proposal of her dreams. Between the music, the magic of the city, and a whole lot of happy tears, Samantha said YES—the easiest and happiest answer she’s ever given. Now we’re counting down the days until we say “I do,” feeling incredibly grateful for this journey, the love we share, and the people who have supported us along the way. We can’t wait to celebrate our forever with all of you. — Samantha & Luke
