Our story began back in high school when Victoria was 16 and Sam was 15. From the very beginning, we had an effortless friendship filled with laughter, inside jokes, and endless debates. For two years, we were just best friends—until Victoria realized something important: she was completely, undeniably, head-over-heels in love with Sam. There was just one small hiccup—Sam didn’t get the memo. While Victoria had fallen hard, Sam remained blissfully unaware, continuing to be his friendly, goofy, totally oblivious self. But Victoria is nothing if not persistent. She patiently (and perhaps not-so-subtly) dropped hints, making sure we spent even more time together. After months of this, something clicked, and Sam finally realized what Victoria had known all along: we were meant to be. Over the years, as we navigated school, silly arguments, and countless shared memories, our bond only deepened. On October 4, 2022, Sam made it official by asking Victoria to be his girlfriend. Then, on March 8, 2025, he took the next big step and proposed, promising to choose her every single day. Our journey is a testament to the fact that real love isn’t about perfection. It’s about weathering the storms, celebrating the sunny days together, and loving and forgiving each other just as God loves and forgives each one of us. And today, as we stand on the brink of forever, we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
