The year was 2017. Both Amanda and Andrew had ended long-term relationships and were enjoying their journeys through life. Andrew had recently returned from an African safari trip to Botswana with college friend Pete De Vries to visit another friend, Madoda Nasha. The trip helped serve as a reset for Andrew and he returned to Columbus ready to live the bachelor life. Amanda had been enthusiastically excelling at work and focusing on being the fun, cool aunt to her two beautiful nieces, Harper and Mackenzie. Her time and energy went into her passions; fighting for her union members, reveling in life with her friends, and loving her family. Neither Amanda nor Andrew was necessarily looking for love. They certainly weren’t aware that a cupid had them in her sights. A cupid in the shape of Amanda’s sister-in-law, Lindsay. Andrew is a massage therapist, and Lindsay was a long-time client of his. During her appointments, Lindsay got to know Andrew and slowly an idea crept into her head. Amanda and Andrew would be perfect for each other! Lindsay set to her role as match maker. Upon her first request for Amanda to meet Andrew, Amanda declined. Lindsay was tenacious in her plot and eventually wore Amanda down until she finally agreed to the setup. Andrew was much easier, agreeing to the arrangement whilst recovering from an epic Katy Perry concert with future best-man Jordan Neal. Finally, introductions were made and a plan for their first date was set. Amanda and Andrew met each other for drinks, they talked for hours about anything and everything. The chemistry and attraction was palpable. Neither wanted the evening to end and they decided to continue their date at Amanda’s favorite karaoke bar. They were both smitten with each other; Andrew with Amanda for suggesting karaoke and Amanda with Andrew for agreeing. The night was perfect. They eagerly agreed to see each other the following night. Before they knew it they were madly in love with each other!
