It all started with a simple plan: drinks on a Friday. Amanda had one rule—no dinner on a first date. Nolan agreed, and we met with no expectations beyond a casual evening and a couple of cocktails. But something shifted almost immediately. What was supposed to be just drinks effortlessly turned into dinner, as neither of us was ready for the night to end. Conversation flowed, laughter came easy, and there was an undeniable spark. By the next day, we didn’t want to wait to see each other again. Saturday turned into more time together over beers, and then Sunday too. Three days in, it was already clear: this wasn’t ordinary. Something special was unfolding, faster than either of us expected—but in a way that felt completely natural. Within just five weeks, we took a leap that most people would hesitate to make—we booked our first trip together to Iceland. It was bold, a little crazy, and absolutely right. By the time we were traveling internationally at just three months in, there was no doubt left. This wasn’t just a whirlwind—it was something real. Since then, life has only grown richer. We've moved in together, merged our friend groups and made countless memories—traveling to Wisconsin, Georgia, Northern Minnesota, New York, and Alabama. Along the way, our lives blended seamlessly, creating one loving family of four, completed by our two dogs, Millie and Coco. What began as “just drinks” became the start of a life together. Now, as we look ahead, we can’t wait to get married and step into this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most! Thank you for being part of our special day!
