Brooke + Sam
September 6, 2025
The Proposal
Brooke Metzker and Samuel Stewart knew each other in high school but didn’t click until almost a decade later. Timing is everything. On a special trip to Greece, Sam proposed before a family dinner where they shared and celebrated the news under a particularly vivid beach sunset.
The Big Day
A threatening morning sky and a missing bow tie were no match for an ultimately sunny and sensational wedding day. The two savored a special first look before Sam’s grandfather (also missing his prepared speech) improvised wonderfully as officiant. Abundance emanated from a lush late summer garden theme and Dionysian sweetheart table display, and rejoicing guests hoisted Sam up to parade across the dance floor, dodging the chandelier. From the pair of Sam’s childhood LEGO minifigs topping the cake to the sumptuous menu inspired by Anthony Bourdain’s love of food and the people who make it, the event was
imbued with meaning and resonance.
