Samantha and Ricky met as they were growing up attending the same middle school. Over the years, they built a great friendship. As they graduated from high school and went on their way to college, their mutual friend Amanda reconnected them where they hit it off on their very first date! They laughed and the conversation flowed so naturally, enjoying one another’s company so effortlessly.

This past weekend, Samantha and Ricky said “I do” in the most beautiful venue, The Carmel Valley Ranch in Carmel, California. Their wedding ceremony was so precious as they committed to one other surrounded by many friends and dear family. The wedding was so beautiful, surrounded by hills and mountains as the backdrop of a momentous day. Samantha and Ricky, I am so happy for you and can’t wait to watch your future unfold as husband and wife!
