WOW is the first word that comes to mind when I think about making a "Wedding Website" for Billy and I! We seem to have always been chasing each other. From my mom being Billy's swim coach in middle school, to high school parties that we were both at just with different people, to moving back to Plainfield within weeks of each other after having kids of our own, it just feels like it was always meant to be. It was a fateful day in April when I happened to go to see a band play, by myself, that we were reintroduced by some great friends (Thanks Jessica and Seann!). Billy got up the nerve, after hours of flirting, to ask me out for dinner. I said sure, and by the fourth date we were hooked! Now we are here getting ready for a beach wedding in October! We can't wait to celebrate with all of you for a fun, sandy, and sunny weekend! You can find all the information for the wedding here. All the events for the weekend with places to stay and other fun things to do in the area. We look forward to seeing everyone soon! Love, Billy & Amanda
Oh, this little hottie is right where I begin!! My goodness I feel like the luckiest guy ever! Little did I know I would end up falling head over heals in love with the woman of my dreams! She is absolutely great! We have crossed paths many times going all the way back to middle school! From her mom being my swimming coach, to swimming alongside her brother, to going to the same church! Little did we know our paths in life would lead us to eachother! So there she was, glowing with radiance amongst a crowd of people! To be honest, I was having a rough begining to the month and really didn't even want to go out, but really glad I did! Turns out Amanda is friends with my best friend's wife, so she stopped to chat. When I finally chimed in on their convo they were having I knew I was intrigued. So after getting to chat some that night we slowly start finding that the more we talk, the more little things we have in common. I finally convinced her to give me a chance, a chance that would turn into the greatest thing ever! Us falling in love together, joining our families and tying the knot! Everyday is an adventure and the greatest adventure in life is getting to share it with that special someone! So to the one I Love so dearly, I can't wait to spend everyday with you by my side!
I am so excited to be tying the knot with Billy! For those of you who don't know Billy and I have known each other for quite some time. He was a year older than me in school. We ran around with the same crowd, went to the same parties, even went to vocational school at the same time and place! After high school I saw Billy a few times here and there but we were always in different places in life. Then April hit! I was supposed to meet some friends out at a bar and as fate would have it they had already left by time I showed up (yes Billy nor I are ever on time!) I settled in and found some people to chat with. After about an hour I saw Jessica, an old friend, across the bar and went to catch up. Jessica and I started talking and I was introduced to her Fiance (husband now!) and then all of a sudden this guy just interjects into our conversation. My first thought was, "who is this guy and why is he jumping in our conversation?". Then I realize, wait I may know this guy and you guessed it, it was Billy. He made me laugh, smile, and feel so at ease. We exchanged numbers and continued to talk, text and go out more and more over the next few months, each date getting better and better. As he met Layla and I met Max I could tell it was meant to be. He came to family functions and fit right in! My family is loud and in your face but full of love and life and he embraced that. My family fell in love right along with me! Billy has a way of making me feel at ease. Life hasn't been easy and there is no way we could have done this alone. It sounds silly but all he has to say is "We got this" and I instantly know we do! As long as we have each other, I know everything will work out! He is the most amazing partner, father, and best friend. I never doubt he would do ANYTHING for his family! I fall more in love daily and can't wait for our next chapter as Mr. & Mrs. Plunkett!
