We're Getting Married

First meeting in October of 2013 at their friend's bonfire, Clara was instantly entranced while Amanda played her guitar and sang by the fireside glow. The next month at Cool Beans' Open Mic Night, Clara officially asked Amanda to be her girlfriend with a quarter machine plastic ring, while Amanda performed several songs on guitar. After dating for a few months, they went their separate ways, but agreed that if this was meant to be they would come back to each other. Remaining friends for the next few years, Amanda and Clara stayed in touch while Clara hosted many themed house parties. In spring of 2019, Amanda reached out to Clara when she noticed something seemed a bit off in her life. They supported each other while both experiencing heartache and major transitions in their daily lives. It was kismet that brought the two of them together, as they spent quality time feeling human again. Clara and Amanda bring out the best in each in other in every way possible. On June 30, 2019, they attended NYC Pride where they danced, paraded and kissed A LOT (on a kiss cam!) This was the start of a fresh and new beginning as they started dating from this point forward. Later that year, Clara officially asked Amanda to be her girlfriend on New Year's Eve at Georgie's Bar in Asbury Park. Since then, Amanda and Clara have celebrated many new chapters including: Amanda's first teaching job, buying a house, Clara's first teaching job, and being Cash's mommies! They are ecstatic to spend the rest of their lives together, while creating new memories, crossing off bucket list items, and becoming parents. The saying really does ring true: if it's meant to be, it will come back to you.
