Our Wedding

Samantha and Victor first met fall of 2019 at their bible study for church. While Samantha always thought Victor was easy to talk to, she kept her distance and Victor kept his distance to not overwhelm the new pretty girl at church. As months went by, Victor and Samantha only waved and said hello. That was the basis of their relationship. Come one Sunday morning in January 2021, Victor and Samantha served together in Kids Ministry. During that time, not only did Victor come to also find it easy to talk to Samantha, but the season of mask wearing caused him to be really drawn to her eyes. That same day Pastor Memo told Victor that he should take Samantha out on a date. Victor felt bashful, moved on, yet still held the thought in his mind. Over the next few months, Victor and Samantha started to talk more and hang out with a small group of friends. Victor attempted to start conversations over text with small observations. For example, he texted one day, “I didn’t know you drive a Prius!” Sadly, he couldn’t carry the conversation. Finally, in August 2021 Victor decided to call Samantha and ask her to hang out over some Sidecar Doughnuts and coffee. He even offered to pick her up. Samantha caught onto nothing and so she wore a brown Hawaiian shirt and some faded jeans. Way too casual for Victor to just “hang out.” Victor enjoyed talking to Samantha but didn’t know if there would be mutual feelings of attraction. Samantha really enjoyed the time with Victor and appreciated the pure fun he brought to her evening. But, she was hesitant to let herself feel anything. Within the next 2 months Victor had conversations with several friends about the idea of asking Samantha out on a date. The pressure was on! Meanwhile, Samantha was wondering why Victor was avoiding conversation with her at church. Finally, after their bible study one evening, Victor decided to call Samantha again to hang out. This time they were getting dinner. Samantha paid for dinner out of generosity, but Victor took it as a signal. That day, on October 21, 2021, Victor realized he likes Samantha and a few days later finally asked her on an official date. Samantha said yes! It took just a few more dates until Victor asked Samantha to be his girlfriend on November 20, 2021. Without hesitation, Samantha said yes! After spending hours on the phone, going on plenty of coffee dates, making dinner together, getting to know each other’s friends and family, and much prayer they both realized they love each other deeply and want to build a home and family together. May 29, 2022, Victor surprised Samantha with a proposal and engagement party. Of course Samantha said yes! October 21, 2021, Victor realized he liked Samantha. And now exactly one year later, October 21, 2022, they have decided to say yes! to a lifelong covenant between each other and The Lord. They look forward to becoming a team for The Lord’s kingdom that builds a home, family, and marriage that further glorifies and reflects the sacrificial love of Jesus for his sons and daughters.
