High School Sweethearts

How We Met

Samantha and Beau first met at 15 in late 2017 during their sophomore year English class (Mr. Bangs class, if anyone remembers). Beau had showed an interest early on to connect with her but, at the time, Samantha wasn’t interested. Fast forward to junior year, their mutual friend Lily recognized how much their personalities aligned to each other and decided to play matchmaker. Over the next 5 months, their connection grew into constant laughing, dates, late-night calls, and sneaking out to see each other (sorry parents). In May of 2019, they chose to make it official and finally become a couple. From high school sweethearts at 16 to lifelong partners, Samantha and Beau’s journey has been shaped by perfect timing, enduring friendship, and a love that has only deepened with the years. Now, after growing together for so long, they are so excited to begin their next chapter in life. Celebrating their story and committing forever, surrounded by the people they love most.
