Our Wedding

Sam and Rachel's story began all the way back in 8th grade when they met at the movies with some friends for a “date.” Or as close to a date as you can get at that age. Funny enough, Sam began his collection of movie stubs from a young age and still has the ticket! It figures that the movie they saw together was Captain America. If you know Sam, you know that he has had a lifelong interest in superheroes that has carried into his adult life.&nbsp; As time passed, Sam and Rachel’s instances of seeing each other began to fade out as they became immersed in their lives at different high schools and colleges.While they were both finishing college, Sam and Rachel&nbsp; were involved in internships away from home over the summer. After years of not speaking, Sam reached out and “slid into them DM’s” on Rachel’s inbox on Facebook. They talked and caught up with each other's lives the whole time they were away from home. This obviously reignited an interest in one another. As they returned back home, Sam asked Rachel out on a date. They met up at what was once known as “Trailhead” on Main Street, St. Charles. The couple quickly realized that this date would lead to more and more dates to come. As they say, “the rest is history.” Throughout the years together, Sam and Rachel have endured many adventures as a couple. They have traveled together, made new friends, fell in love with each other’s families, joined a pinball league, moved in together, became co-parents to their cat Cleo (fondly referred to as Cle),&nbsp; all while building a strong foundation for&nbsp; marriage. They are so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such support and love as they begin this next chapter of their lives. Sam and Rachel are honored to share their journey with all of you. Thank you for being a part of it.
