In the year 2019, Samantha and Samuel's story began at Samuel's 21st birthday party in Simi Valley. Introduced by mutual friends Heidi and Brandon, they immediately hit it off which would eventually lead them on a journey filled with love and adventure.

After not seeing each other for a while, fate brought them back together a year later during the COVID-19 pandemic. Samuel, determined to win Samantha's heart, quickly won her over, leading to them officially becoming a couple in August 2020.

Their journey continued as they moved into their first apartment in Camarillo in September 2022. Samuel pursued his electrical apprenticeship in Ventura County, while Samantha continued her passion for teaching.

Their love blossomed as they created cherished memories all throughout the last 4 years together, from kayaking in Mammoth Lakes to hiking Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. They explored various destinations, including Saint George Utah, Reno Nevada, Scottsdale Arizona, and traveled to Oregon to visit Samantha's and Samuel's sisters, and more recently England to see Samantha's family.

On a memorable day in April 2024, Samuel took Samantha to Twin Lakes, a beautiful spot they had visited together before. Despite the unexpected road closure (due to heavy amounts of snowfall) to their favorite spot, Lake Mary, Samuel seized the moment and proposed to Samantha in a secluded area with a breathtaking view at Twin Lakes.

Both eagerly anticipate their upcoming wedding and look forward to celebrating their love with their loved ones.
