The night before Thanksgiving, Bryon went bowling with a group of friends including Doug and his wife Julianne (Amanda's best friend from high school). Impressed by Bryon's top-notch bowling skills, Julianne turned to Doug and asked, "Why haven't you thought of setting him up with Amanda?" The next day, Amanda received a text from Doug saying, "I found you a husband," followed by several Facebook photos of Bryon. After confirming she was interested, Bryon received a similar text about his "future wife" and asked her out for drinks. A scheduling delay due to COVID and a classic Amanda move to almost bail last minute could have derailed the occasion, but eventually, the two met at Worden Hall for an unforgettable first date.
