Our Proposal Video <3

Our love story..

First comes hinge, then comes marriage.

In the digital age, where swipes and likes often leads to fleeting connections, we found something truly magical. It all began on Hinge, the app designed to be deleted, and for us it certainly lived up to its promise. While scrolling through potential matches, we came across each other. Sam's response to having a Harry Potter marathon and wine made me laugh and won me over. Our conversation flowed effortlessly, filled with shared interests, laughter and a mutual appreciation for each other's quirks. After a few weeks of messaging back and forth we decided to meet in person. Our first date was at Cheesecake Factory, as we enjoyed our meal and drinks it felt as we had known each other for years. Over the next few months our bond grew stronger, each moment we spent together reinforced the feeling that we had found something special. We went down to Carlsbad to visit the flower fields Sam proposed in the most perfect way with Amyraah's help. She recorded and took pictures of such a special moment. We are excited for this next chapter of our lives.
