Benjamin and Samantha’s story is not your standard fairy tale. They met 6 years ago in a small booth at Daily Eats, a small diner in South Tampa where Samantha worked at the time. They quickly became friends, finding common ground for their love of both exercise and breakfast foods. Over the years they've had quite a ride, encountering some challenges both big and small, but have taken the time to build a partnership with strong foundations for their future. They’ve shared many adventures through the years, and they've and continued to grow together as a team. No matter the weather, one thing always stood firm, their unwavering support and friendship for one another. Two things that are crucial for a lasting relationship. In November, Ben proposed to Samantha in Asheville, NC. surrounded by their close friends. Now they’re on their way to #tietheknot and continue their journey as the Bunns! A few things you may already know about the couple but worth mentioning; Benjamin and Samantha share a rescue dog, Jolene. Initially belonging only to Ben, Jolene has grown to love both dog-parents equally...with maybe a slight preference for Samantha. They also have 7 chickens (6 hens and a Rooster) named aptly after common kitchen spices. Both Samantha and Ben have a love for fitness and can be found in the gym for about 90min a day. Samantha is an avid baker and Ben loves to grill...clearly a match made in heaven. Benjamin is the father to a 3 1/2 boy, Loyal. Samantha is excited to officially be his stepmom, although she's been filling that role successfully for 2+ years. They share a home in Seminole Heights, Fl, and live a 2min walk from Benjamin’s mom, Karen. Karen has played a huge role in their relationship and quite frankly is the best grandma on the planet. They also live a stone's throw away from their good friends, Matt and Arielle Murray who can both be found on their back porch several nights a week. They’re excited to start this new chapter and looking forward to celebrating the union with all their good friends and family.
