Our Story
Sam and Emily didn’t meet in the most conventional way. It all started with a swipe right on Tinder back in Feb 2019, a modern day romance you could say. The first date - Em was just chuffed Sam didn't lie about his height while Sam instantly fell for Em's smile. There was an instant connection from the first date as they bonded over their similar music taste, sense of humour and their love of food. They couldn’t keep away from each other in the following weeks. Before they knew it, weeks rolled into months, then months rolled into years. Together they have built something really special and in August 2022, Sam popped the question and of course Em said yes! We really are so excited to join our families together and share our special day with you all. Each of you all mean something to us!
