We met during our very first week of class at Penn State. Our friendship blossomed quickly, but it wasn’t until a few years later that we took the leap from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. Since then, our relationship has been filled with incredible adventures. Together, we’ve traveled to ten countries, explored thirteen national parks, and embarked on four unforgettable road trips to and from Los Angeles. We even had the opportunity to live in California for a while as Isaac completed law school at USC. With its endless sunny days, scenic hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, and the magic of Hollywood movie premieres, Los Angeles has become one of our favorite places in the world. It is a city that will always hold a special place in our hearts. One of our most cherished spots is a beach in Malibu where we would have bonfires and sip wine as we watched the sunset. On our first trip back to LA after moving home, we returned to this beach, supposedly to watch the sunset before heading to dinner. But as we walked along the shore, we came upon a beautiful flower arch with the words "Marry Me" and a violinist playing "Can't Help Falling in Love," Amanda's grandparents' wedding song. In that perfect moment on the beach, surrounded by the beauty of our favorite place and the echoes of a love story that began long before us, we knew we were ready to start the next chapter of our own. We can’t wait to celebrate this special day with all of you, and we’re so excited for the adventures that lie ahead!
