Connor and Amanda met right before the world changed for everyone. On a beautiful evening in Tampa before the pandemic they met through close friends at a local Irish Pub. They clicked, so Amanda told her friends to send her number to Connor. He thought it was a prank from his friends and didn’t believe she would want to share her number with him. The following week Amanda invited Connor’s best friend to her birthday party, and told him to bring Connor. At the party, Connor called her a cutie-patootie, and Amanda instantly knew he was the one! The next week the pandemic hit and Connor decided to drive to Boca and stay with his mom. Since they were a few hours away, Connor and Amanda had many Zoom dates to get to know each other better. After a few months, Connor drove back to Tampa and they officially started dating in person. Throughout the last few years they have traveled together, made new friends, and have become part of each others family. On July 4th, 2022 Connor, Amanda, and most of Connors family hiked a beautiful mountain in Vermont. While we were looking at the beautiful view, Connor dropped to one knee and asked Amanda to marry him. Of course she said YES! The happy couple now lives together in a beautiful apartment in Tampa.
