Our Wedding

Our Story

We both chose to attend Oklahoma State University to pursue degrees in Engineering. When it came time to pick a dorm, we both ended up in Parker Hall—the infamous "nerdy engineering dorm." Sam liked the idea of making friends who would be in her classes, while John was happy to have the decision made for him. During the first week of classes, Sam and her roommate ventured up to the fifth floor for a last-minute invite to a “rap battle” in a classmate’s room. And there was John—backward hat on, rapping with his friends. Not long after, we found ourselves in the same friend group, spending nearly every day together. From long study sessions, sitting next to each other in lectures, and hanging out with our friends, we grew closer and became best friends. John visited Wylie and met Sam’s entire family for New Year’s 2022, and shortly after, we made it official! In those early days, we filled our time with study dates, family visits (John even scored a trip to Vicksburg, MS), and plenty of sorority date parties. These days, you’ll likely find us golfing (mostly John teaching Sam), searching for the best fancy pizza, or planning parties with our friends. Then, on March 8, 2025, John completely surprised Sam with a proposal at Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City—with the help of her best friend, of course! In true movie fashion, she said yes in the pouring rain, and the wedding celebrations began! We are beyond excited to start this new chapter together and can’t wait to have all of our favorite people in one place to celebrate with us. We are truly blessed beyond measure!
