It all started when Amanda was scrolling through Snapchat and came across Jackson’s story. On a whim, she reacted to it, and that simple moment sparked a conversation. The two decided to hang out, and by the following weekend, they met up at IHOP — the beginning of something truly special.

Our second time hanging out, we went bowling — and while Jackson may have won that game, he made it up to Amanda with Crumbl cookies and a fun trip to Target. That day, we both realized this was more than just casual — it was the start of something serious.

Not long after, Jackson showed up at Amanda’s house with flowers in hand. With a big smile, he asked her to be his girlfriend — and of course, she said yes. To celebrate, he took Amanda out on a date to BJ’s, and they ended the night cheering on the Komets at a hockey game.

For our "26‑month" milestone, Jackson took Amanda to Ruth’s Chris for a special dinner. Afterward, we went for a walk through downtown Fort Wayne, enjoying the night together. Not long into our stroll, Jackson got down on one knee and asked Amanda to spend forever with him. Of course, she said yes — and it was a moment we’ll never forget.

We are so excited to begin this next chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on May 16, 2026. Having our friends and family by our side means the world to us, and we’re beyond grateful to share our big day with the people we love most. Here’s to the start of forever!
