On a Wednesday in September, Samantha opened up her Hinge dating app and found a profile with a cute guy who, to her delight, also liked horror movies. She liked the profile and waited hopefully to hear back... a couple hours later she received a message from Adam. On September 25th they had their first date which led to another and by this second date Adam knew that Samantha was the one. Samantha's kindness, laugh, along with her willingness and excitement over olive relish on pizza won him over. From there started their many adventures together. From the dogs meeting (and thankfully getting along wonderfully), winter vacations in Michigan (where they discovered Journeyman Distillery together), multiple trips to the movie theater, discovering new coffee shops, traveling to Ireland, undertaking painting a room together, and many many more. All while falling in love and becoming best friends. On March 18th 2023 Adam took Sam to the Fredrik Meijer Garden & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids MI for a butterfly exhibit. And to Sam's "surprise" Adam proposed. It was an easy yes. So now here we are, getting ready to celebrate the next big chapter in our relationship. We cannot wait to celebrate our love and excitement with all of our friends and family. Thank you for being here, Samantha and Adam
