Brad and I met by chance in July of 2015. We met through Facebook, and a mutual friend. We had our first ever date in Closter, NJ, Brad’s beautiful hometown. From the moment we met, we both felt an instant connection; it felt as if we’d known each other for years and now here it is, five years later and we are getting ready to say “I Do” and spend the rest of our lives together! It feels like a dream come true, like that happiest ending in the sweetest romantic comedy. “I was scrolling thru Facebook one day when I saw that this gorgeous girl posted a photo of herself with the caption being lyrics from my favorite band. Testing my luck, I decided the message her. After hanging out for only one day, I felt like we had known each other for the past twenty years. Dates turned to me going off to grad school where Amanda was basically my roommate, visiting me in the city every weekend. We always hated saying goodbye at the end of the weekends. Eventually we moved in together. Without this girl I would not be able to face adulthood on my own but in the past five years I have never felt more a boost of maturity thanks to Amanda. We have had years of fun, falling and rising back up, the highs, the lows- no matter what, at the end of the day what we always reassure each other is that we are the strongest people ever and we always get thru it with the strength of our love and teamwork. In the words of Weezer, “We make a pretty good team, and you keep my fingernails clean.” You make feel I can do whatever I dream of doing, every day. From meeting you at Palisades Mall in July, 2015 to today, we have come so far and we have grown so much together. I wouldn’t want to grow with anyone else in the world. I love you to the moon and back. I am so excited to grow together even more as this unbreakable team of love that you and I have created. We can accomplish anything. I love you Amanda and I cannot wait to tie this knot!”-Brad 💗
