Welcome to our love story, one that can only be told thanks to the modern magic of dating apps and a little nudge from an unhinged but deeply caring friend named Ali. It all began when Ali took matters into her own hands and signed Amanda up for a dating app. It wasn't James' charming profile or witty bio that caught Amanda's eye initially—it was the irresistible snapshot of his dog Chunk that sparked her interest.

Their first date was a marathon of laughter, deep conversation, and shared plates. So much so that the restaurant staff resorted to subtle hints, like neglecting to refill their water glasses, in the hopes that the pair would take the hint and vacate the premises. But time flew by; leaving the couple blissfully unaware of the world outside their bubble.

For Amanda, it was love at first sight as she confided in her friends the very next day that she had found "the one." James, equally smitten, found in Amanda not just a partner, but a kindred spirit who completed him in ways he never imagined. From that moment on, their love story has been a whirlwind of intense connection, growth, and unwavering support.

From a simple swipe to an unforgettable first date, our story is a testament to the unexpected twists and turns of life, guided by the playful intervention of fate (and a certain tech savvy blonde.)
