It was Halloween weekend, 2017. Jaden had received a text from his friend and next-door neighbor saying “come thru, want to introduce you to Sam hehe” (or something like that). Jaden took a few deep breaths and came across an extremely friendly and giggly girl in a Skeleton costume. It was their first time meeting, Jaden, not knowing who this Skeleton girl was, quickly introduced himself, made some awkward conversation and went on his way. Turns out, Sam knew who he was all along, and rumor has it… she had a little crush. Fast forward a few months and they were formal dates, few more months they were always finding each other at social events, then a few more months they finally had their first date, at the critically acclaimed restaurant, Chipotle Mexican Grill (still their favorite date spot). 12/11/19 - a day that lives in infamy. Jaden had taken Sam to his winter formal. Upon arrival, Sam stated that she actually wasn’t having a good time and needed to go home. After emptying his bank account, Jaden got them an uber back to his house, wondering what in the world was happening. Finally, Sam let out the nine words that would change their lives forever. “WHY WON'T YOU ASK ME TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!?” To which young and naïve Jaden replied, “I thought we’ve been dating for months?” And just like that, the rest was history. They’ve spent the last 6 years together, through all the highs and all the lows, always doing it together. They packed up and went to Denver, bought an overly attached puppy that now runs their lives, packed up again to go back home to be with their wonderful families and now have settled in their first home by the beach. It doesn’t matter where they are, just as long as they’re together. We cannot wait to celebrate our love with our closest friends and family in August. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the love, support, and guidance you give us. Now, as a wise man once said, let’s party!
