Some love stories take time to unfold, but for Jackson and Samantha, it all began in an instant. They met on June 26, 2021, at Jackson’s cousin’s wedding, and from that very moment, they felt an undeniable connection. It was as if fate had brought them together at just the right time. Within two days, they officially began dating, and from then on, they were inseparable.

As high school sweethearts, they shared countless memories, from late-night conversations to weekend adventures. But their journey wasn’t without challenges—when college and work opportunities took them in different directions, they embarked on three years of long-distance love. Though miles separated them, their hearts remained closer than ever, proving that true love always finds a way.

Then, on April 18, 2024, Jackson planned a moment Samantha would never forget. With excitement and love in his heart, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. Without hesitation, she said "Yes!"—the easiest and most joyful answer of her life.

Now, as they prepare to say "I do" on their four-year anniversary, they couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter together. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they are ready to celebrate the love that brought them here and the beautiful future that awaits.
