We met as many couples do, online. After matching and talking for a while, we decided to go on our first date. We had originally planned to grab pizza but we ended up going to Gator's Dockside for dinner in Murabella, Florida. We immediately clicked! After going on a few more dates, we officially started dating on December 6, 2023. Fast forward a year to the day we got engaged. It was our 1-year dating anniversary, and we went to the Matanzas Inlet to have lunch. There were dolphins jumping in the bay, the weather was perfect, and it was a gorgeous day. Samuel got on his knee and Brooke immediately said "Yes!" The rest is history.
