We met on the dance floor at a friend's wedding. Ben, irrationally confident in his dance moves, spun Samantha just enough times to keep her interested. Samantha, always up for a challenge, spun Ben right back in his place. We drank, we laughed, we dipped, and we took at least one embarrassing photograph. The good news is, we've been dancing ever since.

On Memorial Day Weekend, we had brunch at the Beach Plum Inn in Martha's Vineyard. The photographer that Ben hired was secretly sitting at the table across from us, blending in and eating her eggs benedict. The morning was going as planned until, inexplicably, Ben got a cramp in his hand, which caused Samantha to jump from the table in hysterical laughter. Thinking that this was the moment, the photographer almost got up and starting snapping pictures, until Ben shot her a very quick shake of the head, as if to signal, "not yet, I just have a cramp in my hand." The rest of the brunch was perfect. Ben had snuck a bottle of wine that we bought at a vineyard in Italy that past September into the restaurant to present at the end of the meal. When the manager and waitress brought the wine over to the table, Samantha (with the help of some not-so-subtle prompting) finally figured out what was coming. We don't remember exactly what we said (there may have been some tears), but we remember it was the best wine we've ever tasted. To see photos from that day, check out the blog post that amazing photographer Mila Lowe created here http://www.milalowe.com/blog/2017/5/30/surprise-proposal-at-the-beach-plum-inn.

This is the weekend that we get to celebrate with all of our favorite people in the world. We're going to laugh, dance, and party. We can't wait for you to help us write the rest of the story!
