Our love story began in the middle of the pandemic, with something as small as a Facebook friend request that turned into something so much bigger. From exchanging numbers and late-night FaceTimes to our very first date at Santa Fe Brewery, it didn’t take long for us to realize we had found something special. Bonded by our love of nature, animals (especially poodles!), and good food, our connection only grew stronger. After two wonderful years together, we made our home in Carnuel, New Mexico, where we now share our days with our two pups, Kodiak and Chicle, and our handsome cat, Bogey.

We’ve always loved traveling together—whether it’s exploring new cities, relaxing in tropical places, or visiting Kimberly’s hometown of Los Angeles. From the moment we started blending our lives, we both had a feeling this was forever.

One of our most special trips was to Hawaii for Valentine’s weekend. We had a whole list of adventures planned—hiking, biking, surfing, and of course, eating our way through Honolulu. But little did Kimberly know, Sam had something even bigger planned. At the top of Diamond Head, a breathtaking crater overlooking the ocean, Sam got down on one knee and asked Kimberly to be his wife. Kimberly’s reaction? Pure shock, a lot of happy tears, and maybe a few too many F-bombs out of excitement (oops!).

Now, we’re so excited to start this next chapter of life together. Our hearts are full of love, and we can’t wait to celebrate our forever with all of you in one of our favorite places—Mexico. ♥
