On a spontaneous Sunday on Memorial Day weekend in 2019, Sam got a text from his best friends girlfriend - who also happened to be Kaitlyn's cousin - and asked if he wanted to go on a blind date. After some casual conversation, several games of corn hole, and an unplanned trip to Kaitlyn's parents that night...I think they were both a little smitten. They were both impressed with the ease and comfortability they felt around each other from the very beginning. In March 2020, Kaitlyn moved to Seguin and Sam moved to Granger, and with this move an unexpected blessing made itself known to them. Georgia Marie was born in September 2020 and made their little family whole. Sam, Kaitlyn, and Georgia moved into their new home and after 2 weeks living there, Sam shocked Kaitlyn in the middle of their steak dinner he had just cooked, after a beautiful day spent with Georgia and cousin Hudson, by pulling out the most beautiful ring and asking her to marry him. She thought it was a joke. Thought he was being funny in a, 'hey this will be yours someday but not right now, I'm just showing it to you so you know I have it.' Not sure why that was Kaitlyn's first thought, ha! No way was he proposing after they just bought a house! But she said YES (of course she did!), and on March 19th 2021, another joyous memory was made. While our journey has been a little 'out of order', it has given us the time to truly see the deepest parts of each other and build a relationship and family on a strong foundation. This wedding is just another core memory we get to create and share with our loved ones!
