Early September of 2019, Sam was on his way back from Colorado with Jake, one of his groomsman, when Noel added Sam on Snapchat. A few days of talking pass and on September 19th we had our first date. We ended up going to see Good Boys at the Oshkosh movie theatre.

There wasn’t really a specific day that Sam asked Noel to be his girlfriend, because it was just known that we were together. We sat down in early December of 2019 and decided on a day that we could celebrate. November 1, 2019 is the day we have been celebrating for our dating anniversary. If you know Sam, you know this is also the day he shot his prize buck.

Late 2019, we were officially living together and adopted our first fur baby, Bandit. In August of 2020 we moved into our first apartment together, and shortly after, in September of 2020, we adopted our second fur baby, Stitch.

Lots of holidays, birthdays and time pass, and then it happened…February 18th 2023, Sam proposed on Fort Myers beach at sunset in front of his family (& a beach full of tourists).

Your presence at our wedding is gift enough, but, should you wish to give a gift as well, a cash gift to put towards projects on our home or our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated!! 🤍
