Charles and I met about seven years ago through our best friends. They were dating and eventually got married. Charles lived with our best friends for a little bit and every time I went to visit, Charles and I would be up until 4 a.m. talking. I always told myself, "I will absolutely never be with him because I will NEVER move to Texas". Charles now likes to tell people I was in denial all those years.

On April 02, 2022 everything changed for us. I was the maid of honor and Charles was the best man in our best friends wedding. My dad is diabetic and was having a low sugar. I was running around that venue trying to find anything I could to bring his sugars up. We got him something that helped and a while later he was finally feeling better. He went over to get a drink by himself. Me being the worry wart I am, I watched him the whole way to make sure he was okay. Out of nowhere, I saw Charles walk up to my Dad. Come to find out, Charles walked up to him and said something along the lines of, "Hey, you're Samanthas' Dad, I've heard so much about you. My name is Charles, it's so nice to meet you". To which my Dad responded with, "Yeah she talks a lot". Charles and I started talking days after our best friends wedding. We have now been together for a little over four years and we are quickly approaching the rest of our lives! We have two puppies, Dukers and Dolly who just might be the most well loved puppies you ever did meet. We are so thankful for the life we have and we wouldn't change a thing.
