Grant and Amanda first met on the morning of the St. Patty's Day Parade in Chicago in 2017. Somewhere between the train rides and a few pitchers of green beer at Mother Hubbard's, Grant- a then stranger- told Amanda he would marry her if she climbed to the top of one of the downtown Chicago arch-bridges. If you know Amanda you know she was at the top of the bridge before he could rethink what he said. From that point it took both Amanda and Grant about a year and a half to admit that it could've been (and was) love at first sight. On November 24th, 2018, Amanda flew out to visit Grant in New Jersey and from that moment on life has been nothing short of an adventure. We enjoyed every fun new moment a long distance relationship could offer for over three years until March of 2022, when Amanda moved to the Milwaukee area to be with Grant. On June 6th, Grant popped the question on a sunset cruise out on the pontoon, and we have been looking forward to our new favorite journey, marriage, since then!
