Reception

Our Wedding

It all started with an app; Sam had super liked Kristen, she swiped right and the conversation began. From phone calls, long talks, to eventually going on their first date at Rea's. They became inseparable. Seven years, two dogs, a house in a new town and a whole lot of love later and they are ready to tie the knot and say their "I do's"!
