Dakota and Amanda’s journey began in 2016 on the high school wrestling team. Dakota was a wrestler, and Amanda was the team manager, a combination that led to plenty of shared moments and a growing connection. By February 23, 2017, they officially became a couple and started building their story together.

Dakota moved away in June of 2019 to attend college in Sacramento, then moved to Washington; beginning a long distance chapter in their relationship. Despite the miles between them, their bond only grew stronger. In June 2022, Amanda joined Dakota in Washington, and together, they created a home filled with love, laughter, new adventures... and kitties.

On February 24, 2024, Dakota proposed during a magical trip to London. They were in a local cafe called "The Muffin Man", and Dakota earned his promotion from Guam Boy to The Muffin Man as his reward. This marked the next chapter in their lives together, soon to make many more memories in the future. Now, they’re counting down to September 27, 2025, when they will celebrate their love with family and friends and officially begin their journey as husband and wife.
