From across the bar, Mike spotted his future wife, Samantha.

What started out as a casual girl’s night for Samantha at Jaxson’s in San Francisco ended with a move across the country for Mike.

After living in San Francisco for 5 years, Samantha decided to move to New York City for adventure and fun. Her bags were packed and she was ready to go when her friends suggested one last night out for drinks.

Coincidentally, Mike ended up at the same bar that night. He spotted her from across the room, and went right up to her. After a few minutes getting to know each other, they both knew there was something special.

When Samantha left for New York City, Mike told his parents that he was quitting his job and moving to follow the girl of his dreams (having just known her for 3 weeks). Thinking he was crazy, Mike’s parents laughed it off only to see him move two months later.

In New York, Mike and Samantha fell more for each other and on a summer day, Mike proposed at his grandparents’ former home in Westhampton Beach with both families hiding out until Samantha said “Yes!”.

Mike and Samantha can't wait to celebrate their marriage surrounded with friends and family in Southern California.
