Our Wedding

Venue Location

Sam and Kaitlyn met the summer of 2021 at a youth church camp in Holden Beach, NC. A few months later he asked her on a date. They decided a relationship wasn’t best for them at the time, however, while driving to dinner that evening in East Gastonia, a little green truck broke down in front of them at a stoplight. Sam got out to help push them out of the road. Jokingly, Kaitlyn snapped a picture, sent it to her mother and said “I’m going to marry this man one day.” Almost 3 years later, they spoke more frequently and bonded over a 5 hour tattoo session in Dallas, NC. The two have been inseparable ever since.
