"Once upon a time there was a boy named Sam and a girl named Sydney and they met up at a coffee shop!" - Sam's Story

While not entirely wrong... so much more went into the two of us honestly just meeting and eventually (not long after), dating. Before meeting, both of us prayed for a Christ centered relationship that did not involve traveling more than 30 minutes. Almost 9 months later, and many, many, many trips up and down I-95, the Lord did not grant that one request. However, He certainly blessed up tenfold with one another and the story we've gotten to experience together.

At the same time in our lives, we had experienced and healed from past relationships, ended up single, downloading a dating app and matching with one another despite being almost 2 hours a part in distance. We bonded over youth ministry, travel, family, and of course, Benny! It was an instant bond and one not easily broken.

For more information, please attend our wedding ceremony on April 20, 2024 :)
