Our story began in San Antonio, thanks to the wonders of online dating. I had just moved to the city and didn’t know many people, so online dating felt like the perfect way to meet someone new. After exchanging messages, we decided to meet at First Watch for our first date—but there was a slight mix-up. We accidentally went to two different locations! Eventually, we sorted things out and met in person. I was so nervous! He was SO handsome, and I was convinced he was out of my league. That first date was incredible. We talked and laughed over way too much coffee—I drank so much I was shaking! But it ended a little abruptly, leaving both of us uncertain about how the other felt. I remember texting a friend afterward, saying, “Well, now I know what it’s like to go on a date with someone who isn’t interested.” Little did I know, he was thinking the same thing! Thankfully, he kept texting, and we realized we were just nervous and very interested in each other after all. Our journey hasn’t been without its challenges. We’ve had our share of growing pains, breaking up and getting back together a few times. Miscommunication and stubbornness sometimes got in the way, but over time, we learned to talk instead of walk away. It wasn’t easy, but those hard moments made us stronger and taught us how to truly support one another. We’ve also faced some deeply painful losses together. Through the grief, anger, and despair, we’ve been each other’s rock, finding strength and comfort in our love. One of the things I love most about Brandon is his incredible kindness. Early in our relationship, I saw this side of him when his mom asked for a pair of socks. Not only did he bring them to her, but he also knelt on the ground and put them on her feet. How can you not fall in love with a man like that? Today, our relationship is everything I ever hoped for. It’s easy, supportive, and full of love. We’re true partners in every sense—we both cook, we both clean, and share all the ups and downs of life. Brandon always takes care of me: whether it's making sure my laundry is clean, or packing up my work stuff for me since I'm always late, or even just checking in and making sure we’re good and asking if there’s anything I need. He surprises me with flowers, plans date nights, and even takes care of the little things. Brandon’s thoughtfulness and steady presence have made me feel more loved and supported than I ever thought possible. He balances me out, stays calm when I stress, and reminds me that together, we can handle anything life throws our way. I’m so grateful for the journey that brought us here and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Here's to many many many more concerts, dates with friends, country cruises, and jam sessions!
From the moment I met Amanda, I knew she was something special. She was charismatic, close to her family, and, let’s be honest—gorgeous. I was hooked. By our third date, I knew I was in trouble—the best kind of trouble. I had driven in from Corpus (for work), practically buzzing with excitement to see her. We bowled, played games, and had so much fun that neither of us wanted the night to end. So, we sat in the car, listened to music (the first of many times), and kept the night going by heading to karaoke. It was one of those nights you never forget. Of course, our love story started off with a little chaos. On our very first date, we accidentally went to different locations of the same restaurant. I was nervous she’d take it as a sign and head home, but she showed up—and that moment told me everything I needed to know about her. We’ve been through a lot together—highs, lows, laughter, and loss. We’ve had disagreements, even breakups, but we always found our way back to each other. Over time, we’ve built a relationship where we’re free to be ourselves while knowing we’re always better together. When we finally took the leap from an apartment to renting a house, it clicked—this was it. Living together felt easy, natural, like home. That’s when I knew: it was time to make it forever. Now, I can’t wait for what’s next—building a life, a family, and, most importantly, continuing the Amador bloodline (kidding… mostly). I can already picture our kids playing sports, golfing, and making my parents the happiest grandparents around. Amanda, I knew from the start that you were the one. And on October 18, 2025, I get to prove it.
