Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Dylan and Amanda first met at their CrossFit gym in 2023. Dylan was instantly drawn to Amanda and nervously introduced himself, though his first few jokes didn’t quite land. Over the next few months, their paths continued to cross, and eventually, they began working out together with a group of friends. Saturday workouts turned into post-gym meals, and their friendship naturally deepened. Before long, they were finding excuses to spend more time together, both in and out of the gym, and eventually, they officially became a couple.&nbsp; It didn’t take long for them to realize they wanted spend their lives together, and Dylan proposed to Amanda on April 12th, 2025. At the heart of their relationship is a shared desire to grow in their faith and keep Christ at the center of their lives. As they prepare for marriage, they look forward to building a life that reflects the love, grace, and unity found in Christ. Their hope is that their marriage will be a living example of the way Christ loves the Church, unconditionally and faithfully. Above all, they desire that their journey together points others to Christ, the source of their joy, strength, and love.

Ashley is Amanda’s older sister and built-in best friend. She is funny, thoughtful, and the best sister Amanda could have asked for. From playing dolls with Amanda—even when she was far too old for it—to staging “performances” together for their family, Amanda and Ashley have always found joy in just being together. Amanda couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her big sister by her side. Dylan and Amanda both know they can always count on Ashley for wise advice—always delivered with her playful, lighthearted touch.
