Charlie and Amanda first met online at Match.com. Charlie, a little more open to the world of online dating, initiated a conversation with Amanda on December 29, 2016, but Amanda’s skepticism kept her from responding. Thankfully Charlie didn’t give up there, and reached out again on April 17, 2017 where they chatted about family cabins, humanitarian trips, and most importantly...tacos. Ten days later they had their first date at Vegabond in Milwaukee. Amanda was panicking over meeting someone she had only talked to online, (and even tried suggesting that they reschedule) but the moment she realized Charlie truly was the wonderful person she had been talking to, all of that worry went away. They talked over tacos and margaritas, and both left feeling over the moon happy. From that first date, things progressed quickly and they spent as much time as possible together. By December 2017, they welcomed their first fur baby into their lives. Charlie proposed on June 21, 2019 in their backyard with their beloved black lab, Tucker, and then had a special dinner planned at a restaurant Amanda’s cousins had just opened. It was perfectly them. As with any relationship, the road hasn’t always been easy, but has most definitely been worth it. Now exactly 3 years and 1 day after their first conversation started they will be saying “I do”. (Well....they were supposed to anyways). ☺️
