Neil and Samara didn't meet in the most common way for the times, they didn't have to swipe or click on their phones. They met at work, Neil was a lineman and Samara was a line apprentice. It all started with games of roadtrip connect 4 on a storm call to Louisana and blossomed into a magical relationship.
Their first Christmas together, Neil took a leap and took Samara back to his home town in Washington. Samara knew this was a huge deal to met his family, especially since there was air travel involved. Neil's introduction to Sam's mom was more of a surprise. Sam needed help moving and all hands were on deck, one quick introduction and everyone got to work.
Two years later, Neil and Sam found themselves in Mexico enjoying the world together. They enjoyed white beaches, local attractions, Mayan ruins, and one particular sunset sailing trip. As the sun was going down, Neil began to look a little off, maybe sea sickness? Little did Sam know, Neil had spent her trip to the bathroom getting the whole boat on board with his proposal. The bow was cleared, the music quieted down and photographers put in place so they could capture the most magical moment, Neil on a knee with Sam reminding him, "you're supposed to put the ring on my finger."
