It was Fall 2015. Daniel and Amanda had both recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, Daniel from South Africa to begin his new job at Bestco, and Amanda from Buffalo, New York to begin her job as a sixth grade science teacher. Amanda and Daniel met one night while out with friends in 2015, and little did they know that would begin their love story. After that night they didn't see each other until a year later when they played on the same soccer team. Daniel remembered Amanda's name from a year prior, and Amanda was so impressed he remembered her. Several months later Amanda injured her knee, and Daniel was the first person to help her. They began to talk more through texts and finally they went on their first date. Amanda and Daniel got engaged two years later in South Africa on a safari July 23, 2017 at Londolozi Private Game Reserve overlooking a beautiful sunset. They both agree it was well worth the wait!
