The future Mr. & Mrs. Sams

We came to North Carolina to celebrate a golden anniversary, but we also got to witness the beginning of a new couple. Brandon proposed to our niece, Melissa, and she eagerly accepted. They are planning a summer wedding.

Of course, we've always known Melissa was awesome, but it was great to meet Brandon and see that she'd chosen so well. He fit right in as part of the family and we're excited about what the future holds for these two.
