"for the flowers your mom planted lining our aisle, the lights our dads strung, for the rug my mom got for us to stand and say our vows on, the moroccan wedding blanket from my sisters for our honeymoon suite and the gold Sampson necklace from Kels that lives around my neck now. the half moon ring that i will wear forever to remember the magical sky on our wedding night from my parents, the leis from hawaii, decorating our cake over my morning coffee the day before, the DJ that stayed up until 6am so we could party all night long, the unforgettable speeches, the heartfelt words from Chase who married us and our friends who celebrated all weekend long with us. The boxes of Coronas brought up to our getting ready suite, the tarot card readings for all of my bridesmaids the night before the wedding, the tears and laughs and bottles passed around and dance moves, the handmade late night pinata, my grandmas pearls, the morning after breakfast burritos, the incredible @victoriacarlsonphoto and @goodcostudios for documenting every last bit of it all and @purepulseentertainment for making sure it was set to the best soundtrack. I am beside myself with happiness and joy for what truly was the very best day of my entire life. It's not often that life just feels completely perfect but right now, it does and it's all because of our love and our wonderful tribe @justin.sampson" // @christina.samps

“Can we always be this close? I feel like I’m watching an old school movie when I look through these shots. Remembering the pure joy leading up to this day. The brink-of-tears emotion all morning before the ceremony. The blissful moments dancing the night away amongst our family and friends! And the deep and overwhelming comfort of falling asleep together that first night as husband and wife. As far as days go, this one was 10/10” @christina.samps
“This past weekend I got to marry my best friend and absolute love of my life. Thank you to our families & everyone who came out to celebrate with us on our special day and helped us carry on the party into the wee hours of the morning. I couldn’t have imagined a more incredible day and will remember this special moment for a lifetime.” @justin.sampson
“Our love will grow with us and slip into the cracks of our lives, like flowers that can’t help but bloom.” @christina.samps
“… and lastly. Christina. I want to thank you. thank you for bringing so much happiness into my hermanos world. Thank you for being a constant source of light and inspiration in his life, and most of all I want to thank you for loving him so deeply and unconditionally like the rest of us Sampson’s already do. As his sister, I couldn’t hope for anything more.
So on this special evening as we celebrate your love for one another, don’t forget to stop… and take it *all in. All the feelings. All the moments. All the people that are here supporting you. And all the love that surrounds you. And may this be a quick reminder to continue to live your lives to the fullest, be present, always hold each other close, and try not to take a single moment you are given for granted. You two share an incredibly deep love for one another and I am excited to see where your adventures, your passion projects and your dreams take you two.
You are the perfect compliment for one another and I couldn’t be happier to officially say… Christina, welcome to the Sampson Family.. I love you both with all my heart and I treasure you two beyond words.” @kjsampsonite
