We met in the new modern way, via an online dating site. On William's profile it stated that he liked Irish music. Amanda thought how often does someone care enough about that to put in on their dating profile. Anyone that knows Amanda knows that Irish music is her favorite, so he had already won her over with those 2 simple words. Our first date was on September 24, 2017 at Red Robin in Chicago, IL. Funny enough Amanda had been in Grand Rapids, MI earlier that day after having gone to the Aquinas College Homecoming that weekend. We had a lovely time and realized that we both have a love of the theatre, museums, and enjoy history.
