We met on the Tinder dating app (yes, really!). Dylan was Amanda's first swipe and match. Within a week, we were getting ready to meet in-person for dinner at Fitzwilly's in downtown Northampton. The phrase, "When you know, you know" hit home for both of us as we proceeded to close down the restaurant by sitting and talking the entire night. We knew we had just met someone (finally, in-person!) very, very special. Tinder was promptly deleted off both of our phones that night.
It was a beautiful fall day at Outlook Farm Orchard, the kind where the crisp air is filled with the smell of crunchy leaves. Amanda's best friend, Katherine, was visiting for the weekend and the two were ready to take on all things fall (us Nantucket girls don't have apple orchards right in our back yard)! When Katherine was taking a picture of Amanda picking that first apple, Dylan surprised them by appearing around the corner with a surprise guest - Amanda's sister, Allison! Holding a beautifully hand-woven Nantucket lightship basket (made by Allison), Dylan popped the question - right in the middle of the stunning orchard row. Amanda said "Yes" and they were engaged! Dylan and Allison helped Amanda and Katherine find some amazing apples thereafter! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you all! See you in Amherst!
