Our Wedding

On the night that Nick and Amanda met it was the ending of a great day. Amanda went out to dinner with her new coworkers and then a few of them went out to have some drinks and dance at The Grove in Poplar Grove. Amanda and her friends had some good laughs as the Mardi Gras festivities(theme of the night at the bar) began. And continued when a guy in a plaid shirt (Joey D) won the contest for best rack. ;) Out on the dance floor was Nick and as he danced solo (lol), Amanda and her group of friends were dancing as well. Then pretty soon they were dancing together and ended up exchanging phone numbers at the end of the night...Amanda put “Nick Grove” into her phone for contact info and Nick put “Amanda Bar” into his phone.And that ladies and gents is how our story began. The Proposal💍💕 Nick and Amanda started their morning pretty early as they headed to The Cliff Off roading park to meet up with friends for an off roading Jeep adventure. Little did Amanda know that Nick had done quite a bit of planning for this day! It was pretty muddy but that’s the fun part. Amanda had her cowboy boots on and brought some extra rain boots just in case and so did Nick. Amanda gave her boots to Katie and was going to offer Nick’s boot but was glad she didn’t because tucked in one of his boots was a surprise that he didn’t want Amanda to find just yet... They meet their friends at the park and hit the trails. They made it one time around on Trail 1.. and then went back the opposite way to do the trail one more time before heading to grab some dinner! The group got to the point on the map called ‘Lori’s Holler’ , where Nick, Tom, and Chris got out to look at it before going down and back up. Tom and Katie went first and then it was Nick and Amanda’s turn. When they got to the bottom, Nick wanted to get out and have Tom take a picture of us by the Jeep at the bottom of the hill. At first Amanda didn’t want to get out of Jeep since it was so muddy but Nick insisted. They got out of the Jeep to take a picture. When Amanda approached the front of the Jeep, Nick was down on one knee and proposed!!! 💍 It was a complete surprise and Amanda didn’t suspect a thing! Of course she said yes!!!💕 Turns out Nick took Amanda’s camera over to Tom’s house so that way he could take pictures of Nick and Amanda so they could remember this moment forever! Nick and Amanda planned this trip with there friends as an outing but Nick and the rest of them knew the special meaning of that trip. ❤️❤️ Bestest friends ever!!! The rest of the day was amazing.. When the rest of the group got to the top of Lori’s Holler, Mindy had gotten sparkling grape juice for celebration( no alcohol allowed in park but was also good since Amanda was pregnant and only Nick and her knew 🙊).
