We grew up only a few blocks away from each other and went to high school together but never crossed paths until after high school. Christian reached out to Samantha on twitter making a funny joke (Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the shell station) and their connection started from there. Christian at the time was living in Tahoe, and Samantha was in Antioch. Christian would come home to Antioch every weekend to come see Samantha. This went on for a few months until Christian decided to move home and ask Samantha to be his girlfriend in Disneyland, from there their love grew for Disney and each other!
Christian and Samantha decided to book a spontaneous trip to Disney World in January of 2021. As time got closer to their trip Christian was thinking where else would be the most perfect place to do the proposal than Disney World? On the first day in Disney World Christian got down on one knee and asked Samantha to marry him, and of course she said yes!
