Samantha & Kristen

Samantha and Kristen’s love story began like many modern romances—by swiping right on Tinder. But their first date quickly turned into a series of hilarious misfortunes that neither of them expected. They met at South Shields seafront, and while walking along The Leas, Sam sprained her ankle. The mishaps kept coming—during their meal, she broke a plastic fork trying to cut her food, sending curry sauce flying everywhere. Trying to salvage the date, Kristen suggested a game of swing ball, but his first swing sent the ball crashing straight into Sam's face. Despite the chaos, they couldn’t stop laughing, and now, eight years later, they still look back on that unforgettable day with fondness as they prepare to marry. Samantha and Kristen know that no matter what life throws their way, they’ll always find a way to laugh through the chaos—together.
