Hannah and Sam’s Love Story Glows at Hotel Ella
Hannah and Sam’s story started in Houston, just before the world hit pause. They met, clicked instantly, and managed to fit in a handful of amazing dates before lockdown changed everything. But instead of keeping them apart, it brought them even closer. They spent those months side by side — cooking, watching movies, and building a life together in the simplest, sweetest ways.
Three and a half years later, Sam planned something straight out of a love story. He sent Hannah on a scavenger hunt, leaving love letters in all the places that had meant the most to them. Each stop was a reminder of how far they’d come. And at the final destination, Hermann Park Gardens, he was there, waiting to ask the easiest question of his life. She said yes, and just like that, their greatest adventure began.
