FROM BEGINNING TO FOREVER

Love stories have begun to change in this generation. With tinder success stories and online dating, we have evolved from the classic girl meets guy at the superstore stories to the discovery of love on the internet. This story is began no differently. Sean slid into Sam's DMs in the summer of 2020. With over 6 months of quarantining and social distancing, could you expect any other method to even be acceptable? Direct message conversations filled the first few weeks of getting to know each other until Sean asked Sam on their first date at Landmark Lanes to play pool and some arcade games. After that night, the two grew nearly inseparable over the next two months before Sean asked Sam to be his girlfriend, and their love story set off onto an unrecognizable, yet magical track of what pure and real love actually feels like.

For many people, they moved quickly into love, moving in with each other and sharing finances, but for Sam and Sean, they knew pretty quickly they were soul mates. As their relationship began to approach that 1 year mark, Sean found himself wanting to confirm their love through engagement, and Sam found herself able to read every step Sean was preparing to take. See, Sean is not the best at keeping secrets, especially when he is excited, so the random trips to the mall with his sister and comments of excitement to go on their anniversary trip were easily interpreted as a proposal approaching. As the weeks turned to days and their anniversary trip was nearing, Sean's excitement began to take over. Sam didn't think he would make it to their trip to Mexico, but to her surprise, they boarded the plane and were off to tropical paradise. After a shaky day of travel, Thursday came. One more day till their anniversary. It was an exciting time for them both, but I think you all may know how this went. Unsurprisingly, on Thursday, one day before Sean and Sam's first anniversary, Sean couldn't wait any longer. He proposed to Sam once they returned to their room from the pool. It was the perfect place to share that intimate moment and the beginning of their forever <3
