Once upon a time, an unassuming Sam received orders to travel to San Antonio, TX for army training in Jan 2023. A girl that she became good friends with during training just happened to work with Nathan at the hospital there. Foreseeing a perfect match, the friend sent Sam’s instagram to Nathan so he could slide into her DMs. They met up at the sketchiest hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, recommended by Nathan’s roommate at the time, for their first date. Despite the questionable atmosphere, they immediately hit it off and spent the rest of the night eating cheesecakes and talking in the car. It took Sam approximately 2 business months to convince Nathan she was into him, but once he came to that realization, the rest was history… Nathan proposed in Nov 2023 on top of the Enchanted Rock in TX at sunset. The beautiful moment was captured by supportive strangers, shown above. He surprised her with a romantic night at an AirBnB with a hot tub, pizza, and wine. A girl couldn’t have dreamed of anything more. The couple eloped at Bexar County Courthouse in TX on Dec 28, 2023. It was an intimate ceremony with Sam, Nathan, his daughter Kylee, and their photographer. The lovely shots from this day are scattered throughout this website. They say when you know, you know. And they definitely knew. They now invite you to celebrate their beautiful marriage with an official ceremony and reception attended by their closest family and friends. They thank you for playing a special role in the first chapter of their lifelong book.
