Our Wedding

Like so many in our generation, we first crossed paths on a dating app (thank you, Hinge!) in Boise, February 2019. Our first date was at a rock climbing gym, and it didn’t take long for us to realize that we had so many shared interests and hobbies. However, our new relationship was quickly tested by long distance—Kevin was living in McCall, two hours north of Boise—and the arrival of COVID, which brought travel restrictions and quarantine. As Kevin’s fire season began, the demands on his time made it harder to foster our connection, and we decided it might be best to just stay friends.But after a summer apart, we both came to the same realization: what we had was something special. In August 2019, we gave it another shot—and the rest is history. We quickly became each other’s best friend and main support system, building a home away from home. Our shared love for adventure and the great outdoors brought us even closer. Together we began dreaming of buying a house and settling down in Boise. That dream came true in October 2024, when Kevin took a job with the City of Boise Fire Department and we bought our first home.In May 2024, Kevin proposed to Sam during a beautiful hike, followed by a BBQ celebration with friends. Sam says he absolutely nailed it!Our journey has been one of love, growth, and a whole lot of adventure. We can’t wait to continue this next chapter with all of you by our side!
