Lance and Amanda’s paths first crossed in the fall of 2017 at Northwest Missouri State University, where they ended up having the same history class. They didnt know each other but later realized this would be their first encounter. Flash forward to November 23rd, 2020. Lance and Amanda reconnected, and they went on their first date with three of their favorite things: chicken wings, football, and of course Andy’s Frozen Custard!! Ever since then, they have been inseparable!

The couple officially started dating on January 1st, 2021, and since then they have shared many memories and milestones. In the summer of 2023, Amanda, Lance, and of course, Berk moved in together, and officially became homeowners this September!

On August 17th, 2024, Lance planned a dinner with their parents at The Pear Tree, where the couple has shared many special memories. Little did Amanda know that she was getting engaged! Some of Amanda’s best friends surprised her, and when she got up to hug them, Lance got down on one knee and asked her to marry him… And of course, she said yes!! 💍

Patience, good timing, and life experiences brought Amanda and Lance together. Some of their favorite things to do as a couple are eating BBQ, spending time with the berky pup, and watching sports! Especially football, even if we do not like the same team. 😉

Amanda and Lance have experienced a lot during their last 4 years together. Being dog parents to Berk. 4 college degrees. New adventures around the world and a new home. They are excited for their special day and cannot wait to continue to build their lives together!
