One unexpected evening in downtown Naples changed everything. We met at Sidebar, completely by chance (or maybe fate). He walked in, spotted someone he knew in my friend group, and came right over. With a big smile and so much confidence, he wrapped his arm around me and asked my friend for my name. From that very first moment, something just felt different — easy, exciting, and somehow meant to be. Not long after, he asked for my number and sent me his very first text: “Hey future wife, meet me at Trattoria” (another spot on 5th ave) Bold? Yes. But it made me smile — because deep down, something in both of us already knew this was special. And from that night on, we’ve been writing our love story, hand in hand. Since then, our days have been filled with so much laughter, little family adventures, and a love that feels like home. What we found was more than we ever expected and exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for that night, for each other, and for all the moments that brought us here. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of forever with all of you. xo, Amanda & Michael
