How We Met Nick and Samantha have known each other since middle school, however they did not cross romantic paths until May 2017. They believe that God brought them together after they had both gone through life changing events. Samantha was just a couple months shy of a gun shot wound to the head caused by a stray bullet falling from the sky on New Years Eve. Nick had just celebrated a full years fitness journey resulting in a loss of 100 pounds. Their love and support for one another resulted in a love for ages. Our First Date After weeks of constant communication, Nick finally made the 150 mile journey to San Antonio where they spent a night filled with fun that began with Burgers and Beers at San Antonio's Favorite Beer Garden The Cove and ended dancing on the Coyote Ugly Bar to their all time favorite classic Suavemente. When He Proposed After months of stress moving into their first home together, they hosted a house warming party with closest family and friends. It was here that Nick, among the chaos of family and friends under the influence of alcohol, decided that it was now or never. He gathered everyone to make an announcement thanking them for being there and then descended to one knee. Hiding behind his back was a ring that he picked after months of planning. The excitement could not be contained. Once the question was asked, Sam had said yes and could not be happier.
