Our Wedding

<p>Amanda and David met in 2023 on a dating app called Hinge. Their first date was at a quiet little park in Napa where there was an instant connection. They continued talking and building their connection until David asked Amanda out in May at Fort Bragg on a pier overlooking the ocean. Throughout their relationship they have supported each other, cried together, laughed together, faced challenges together head on, traveled, sung their hearts out at country concerts, gone fishing, hunting, and learned what it means to be truly unconditionally loved. David proposed to Amanda the following August in Hawaii on the beach. Each day together is a new adventure filled with love and support and while not everyday is easy peasy, everyday for the rest of their lives they will have someone who has their back and will fight with them and for them.</p>
