Amanda and Justins love story began with a hint of luck—they met through mutual friends over St. Patricks Day weekend in 2021, and instantly hit it off. Their connection deepened as they uncovered much about one another, and surprising facts like being born just three days apart. (Of note, Amanda is older.) Their first date the following week sealed the deal when Justins gentlemanly and charm swept Amanda off her feet.

Their budding romance faced an early challenge when Justin, already committed to military service, embarked on basic training just one month into their relationship. Despite the distance, they kept their bond strong through postage exchanged over 7.5 weeks. Between the two, there were over 60 heartfelt letters sent. Amanda eagerly supported Justin from afar, witnessing his graduation ceremony via livestream due to COVID visitation restrictions.

After a 10-week separation, they reunited and navigated a period of long-distance dating until Justin returned to Dallas. Their commitment deepened as they embarked on new adventures, including purchasing a home together in August 2022, where they now reside with their beloved pets Cooper, Seneca, and Hudson.

Their love story took a magical leap during a trip to Amanda's favorite place, New York City, in April of 2023. Little did she know, Justin had planned a proposal in Times Square, followed by a surprise celebration with their closest friends at a rooftop bar!

Since their engagement, Amanda and Justin have been eagerly planning their wedding, looking forward to sharing their special day with cherished family and friends. When they're not busy with wedding preparations, they enjoy exploring new places, indulging in the finest food at Buffalo Wild Wings, and savoring moments with loved ones.

Each and every one of you have played an integral role in our journey, and we are so excited to celebrate our love and union among our favorite people!
