Our story

Amber and Patrick first met at Frank's house 7 years ago. Patrick found out that Amber was an ASU fan and naturally gave her a hard time for rooting for the "wrong team". He eventually realized that Amber was pretty cool and able to roll with the punches. They became fast friends from that moment on, until they took it further a few years later when they were both single at a New Year’s Eve Party. January 1, 2016: Amber kissed Patrick at midnight and the rest is history! They started dating, fell quickly in love, and moved into a house together a year later. From there, they adopted a bluetick coonhound named Mollie to go along with Patrick's dog, Callie. Over the past couple of years, they have had nothing but fun together going hiking, two-stepping, traveling, as well as many other activities. They always have a blast! After a little less than two years together, Patrick knew he wanted to propose and decided to work with his friends, Chris and Ashley, to come up with a plan. Chris and Ashley live in San Diego and it was around the time both of them turned 30. Patrick convinced Amber that they were going out to celebrate them and going to Temecula to visit a couple of vineyards. Amber was confused, and rightfully so, because Ashley was nine months pregnant and obviously could not drink. However, Patrick convinced her that Chris and Ashley wanted to get a couple bottles of wine for after Jayden was born. Eventually Amber bought it, and they headed out to California. February 3, 2018: On the way to Temecula felt like the longest drive Patrick has ever taken because he knew that where they were going was going to change both of their lives forever. After arriving at the vineyard , they went in and did the first round of wine tasting. At that point, Patrick could not wait anymore. He came back and took Amber by the hand and walked out to a spot overlooking the beautiful vineyard and proposed. To his amazement, she said yes!
