Our Wedding

Jacob and Sami's love story began in January 2020 after they matched on the dating app Hinge. They went on a few dates before the world shut down due to the pandemic. The lockdown led them to embark on unique and creative dates, allowing them to get to know each other quickly.Jacob's patience and kindness shone through as he allowed Sami to move at her own pace. As they spent more time together, they discovered many shared experiences from their past. Both had driven the same car growing up, played basketball, and even majored in the same field in college.In 2022, their relationship took a big step forward when they moved in together. Soon after, they welcomed their daughter, Savannah, in April. Their little family grew, and they put down roots in Fort Worth, buying a house and building a life together.As they approach January 2025, Jacob and Sami will be celebrating five wonderful years together. They look forward to their next big milestone: becoming husband and wife in September. Their journey so far has been filled with love, growth, and countless cherished moments, and they are excited for the future ahead.
