Whether you are religious or not, this couple’s story is positively the sweetest. Sam and Margarita met when they were in Margarita’s older brother’s wedding together. From that moment, they began talking and sharing adventures together. Sam said from the beginning he was not only committing to Margarita, but also to her son. He had the utmost respect for her as a single mother, and refused to even consider a relationship unless he knew he could take on the pair of them.

Sam planned a proposal in front of Margarita’s community; it’s where they spent most of their time, and where they served together as missionaries. He decided to involve the kids, but most importantly her son.

If you would like to skip ahead, the proposal begins at 1:20 (so you can hear him explaining precisely what’s going on).

I love that Sam knew from the beginning the role he was going to have to play not only with his future wife, but also with his future step-son. Men who take on single mothers have my greatest respect because they are taking on multiple roles in a new life.

Congratulations you three!
