Nate & Amanda

It's been a remarkable journey of friendship, laughter, and love that brings us to this beautiful chapter in our lives. Our story spans nearly a decade, a testament to the slow and steady kindling of a love that was meant to be.

Our paths first crossed in the most unexpected of ways. You might say it started with a joke – and not the best one, at that! I (Nate) made a facetious comment at Amanda's expense, not realizing that this small interaction would be the first step in our incredible journey together. Back then, Amanda thought I was a bit mean, but little did we know that this moment would be the spark that eventually ignited our relationship.

As time passed, we found ourselves part of the Willoughby Hills Friends Church Youth Group, not just sharing a circle of friends but also sharing values and experiences that drew us closer. Our admiration for each other grew, rooted in the honesty, determination, and care we saw in one another. These were the seeds from which our love blossomed.

Our connection deepened when we both began working at Bowden Manufacturing, a company with deep ties to Amanda's family. This shared experience brought us even closer, weaving our lives together in ways we never expected.

Throughout our journey, we have been incredibly blessed with support from various communities – our church, our workplace, and so many cherished friends and family members. These communities have been a bedrock of encouragement and love, guiding us as we learned the true meaning of patience, respect, loyalty, kindness, affection, and care – not just for each other, but for all our loved ones.

Today, as we stand on the threshold of a new beginning in Painesville, we are filled with gratitude and excitement. Our journey has taught us the value of togetherness and the strength that comes from a partnership built on mutual respect and love. We are eagerly looking forward to continuing this beautiful journey, hand in hand, heart in heart, with each other and with the communities that have been part of our story.

Thank you for being a part of our story. We can't wait to share this next chapter with you.
