We met through our mutual best friend, Caitie Van Sciver, and later reconnected through Facebook. Caitie attended high school with Charles and college with Amanda. We first officially met at a Jersey Crusades event at Rutgers University (2010ish). Nothing happened although we both remember the interaction. Later, Charles visited Caitie at Stockton College where Amanda joined to go to the movies. Caitie and Amanda were college roommates. During this visit, we had more time to connect and develop interest in each other, but Amanda was in a relationship at the time. Years go by and nothing happened. Amanda eventually reached out on Facebook and the relationship finally began to blossom. Our first date was at a Thai restaurant in June 2013 and we became an official couple on August 1, 2013 after a date at Medieval Times (Team Yellow!). Charles proposed on April 20, 2019.
