Samantha and Nathan first felt sparks fly on their university campus, feeling an instant connection at first sight. Baseball brought Nathan to ask his teammates about Samantha, sending him in the right direction. And the rest was history!
In December 2021, during a Colorado ski getaway, Nathan planned a romantic snowy proposal just after Samantha tragically lost her grandmother. “It was a magical, unexpected and just a sweet and happy moment,” the bride says. The couple celebrated into the evening, with Nathan gifting plane tickets to Samantha to visit her loved ones.
On January 21, 2023, Samantha and Nathan pledged their love with a traditional church ceremony in Houston. Samantha walked down the aisle glowing in an elegant strapless ballgown from Belle Âme Bridal, her hair in loose, romantic waves—a timeless and effortless look for the bride.
After exchanging vows, the celebration continued at the Magnolia Hotel Houston with a simple yet classic all-white ballroom wedding reception. Tall floral centerpieces, warm candlelight and gold accents marked the tablescapes and reception space for this city-chic winter wedding. The couple twirled across a custom dance floor monogrammed with their initials, surrounded by friends and family.
Samantha and Nathan’s magical evening concluded with a festive streamer send-off before jetting to St. Lucia for their honeymoon.
