Fred and Amanda met in the middle of Summer in 2017, at The House of Beer in Dunedin. Amanda was out with a few friends, and those friends invited Fred to come out and have a drink with them.. Amanda was out on the back patio dancing, Fred arrived, they introduced themselves, and headed back inside. Amanda went to the bathroom and started fixing her hair and makeup because wow, she wasn’t expecting this guy to be so attractive! They headed over to Blur nightclub, got to talking, bonded over the fact that they were both single parents, and of course showed off pictures of the babies. An instant connection was felt, but neither of them asked to exchange numbers. The night ended and they went their seperate ways. The next week, both of them kept thinking of the other one and wanting to reach out, but didn’t want to put their friends in the middle of a possible love connection. Finally, Amanda found Fred on Snapchat. From that first message, they couldn’t stop talking. Texting all day, and talking on the phone for hours at a time. Their first official date brought them to a hookah lounge, putt putt golf, and bowling all in one night! They couldn’t get enough of one another. A few weeks in, they ended up confessing that they loved each other. This was even before they officially became “girlfriend and boyfriend”. When you know, you know. Time went on and they introduced Maela and Donovan. Then 3 months into dating, moved in together. Fast forward to 2020, they get the news that they are pregnant with Kayden. At the gender reveal, Fred proposed. The kids wore shirts that said, “will you marry my daddy?” The whole thing was absolutely perfect. February 2021, Kayden is born. And their blended family felt so complete. Moving forward, in October of 2022, they bought their first home together in Spring Hill, FL. And now, after 7 years together, they are FINALLY tying the knot!!!
