We met the old fashion way... With a swipe on a dating app like how every modern love story begins. While it's still "unsolved" who sent the first message (Amanda thinks it was her and John thinks it was him). After dating through the summer of 2022, it was evident after our first date for tacos and margs (still one of our favorite things to do) that we both saw a future with one another. Amanda probably won him over for her love of the song 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrison and since then she became his brown eyed girl. After dating for over a year, we decided to kick it up a notch and expand our family by adopting our dog, Rocco, who we both can't imagine life without! John proposed in February 2025 in the most us way; in the comfort of our own home, with Rocco. We are so excited for our future together and getting to share this chapter of life with our favorite people!
