Sammie’s Version: Simple text messages back and forth are how our friendship began in high school. Desperate to spend time with Jake, I decided to ask the former powerlifter to help me lift weights and the rest is history. We didn’t step foot in a gym together that year, but my plan to become Jake’s best friend worked. And now I am marrying him 🖤 Jake's Version: On a rainy bus ride home after losing a basketball game, my phone unexpectedly buzzed. To my surprise out of the blue Samantha texted me asking for help with weightlifting, which to this day l have yet to fulfill. Maybe after the wedding!
