Ahhh the beginning of the friend zone. This is Michaela and Sam's very first picture together.

Here is the moment Sam knew he had to marry Michaela. Michaela thought they'd be better as friends. Little did she know...

They spent many hours together during the pandemic watching movies, talking about their feelings. You know, friend stuff.

Sam attempted to confess his love again and got rejected by Michaela for a second time. The friend zone began to set in.

After being denied twice, Sam finally surpassed the friend zone when Michaela asked Sam on a date! The impossible became possible.

Thus begins the greatest love story ever.

One year down - Sam and Michaela enjoyed many movie nights, putt putt dates, and late night drives.

Two years down - This year they were able to enjoy Christmas dates, trips to Iowa, and track meets.

3 years down - What a year, full of growing faith, more fun with friends, and graduation!

Sam gets down on one knee and asks Michaela to marry him. She said yes! :)
