We're getting married!

We met at a church activity and didn't think too much of it at the time, but the attraction (and maybe narcissism?) was there. After some weeks of playful banter during Sunday school, a fateful ministering assignment, and a global pandemic to keep us in close proximity, Sam Squared™ was born.

Samuel staged the filming of a couples' YouTube video with the help of his friends Matt, Jon, and Sarah, set in front of picturesque, red rock ledges in St. George, Utah. Samantha (or "Pretty Sam", as she is referred to by the Gibson family) thought she was only helping some friends out when she agreed to answer some relationship questions on camera with her boyfriend. During the staged interview, Matt posed the question to the Sam's: "At one point did you know that they were the one?" Samantha answered first, while thinking to herself that the question was a very committal one to ask a boyfriend and girlfriend (although the couple had openly discussed marriage at this point). Samuel answered next, staying pretty cool under the pressure of knowing what was coming. As he finished his answer, he slowly got up from his chair and then down on one knee. The rest is history! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. We'll see you in Mesa and St. George!
