We're getting married!

Amanda and Michael met in 2014 on a coed softball team in Sacramento, CA. Michael eventually became the captain of the team, causing Amanda to quit because of his authoritarian rule. Then, on May 11, 2017, Michael wished Amanda happy birthday via text and they started talking. They realized they had a lot in common and Michael asked her on a date, dinner and a movie. Their first date was love at first sight and couldn't have been more perfect (just kidding!) -- food poisoning and a 3D movie didn't mix well. The date had to be cut short. They have been together ever since. Throughout their relationship, they have been to countless A's games (Michael's team) and Giant's games (Amanda's team). They have traveled to Cancun, Ensenada, Maui, Disneyland, Lake Tahoe and Bodega Bay. Amanda introduced Michael to her dogs (Sally and Ethel), her late cat (Tank) and Marvel movies. Michael introduced her to NASCAR and Bruce Springsteen. They were engaged in South Lake Tahoe on December 28, 2020.

Michael and Amanda headed to Lake Tahoe on December 27th, 2020. Amanda was told that they needed to be at her parents' condo to have work done on the kitchen by a handyman. Little did she know that Michael and her mom had secretly planned the whole thing. On the morning of December 28th, Michael asked Amanda to go on a walk to her favorite spot overlooking the lake. It was beautiful and lightly snowing. While Amanda was busy playing in the snow, Michael pulled out a ring and got down on one knee. It was magical, but Amanda wishes she would have gotten her nails done.
