Amanda was fresh off the boat and Michael was starting his first year of his doctorate of physical therapy program. Neither knew it at the moment, but that only one click away was the person they would spend the rest of their life with. Their first date was at a local Mexican restaurant, she asked him out after weeks of talking. They talked the night away until the restaurant closed late in the morning.

Michael first asked Amanda to be his girlfriend on a sunset walk on the beach at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The many adventures that they embarked upon included trips to Disneyland, traveling the world, going to baseball games, moving in together, battling pandemics, family reunions, career changes and graduations. Three years could not be filled with more highs, lows, and milestones for these two.

On a family trip to Hawaii with all of Amanda's family present, Michael got the courage to propose. He was very adamant about a particular hike that led to a beach. Amanda and Michael hiked the little trail down to a secluded beach where at sunset Michael asked Amanda to be his forever.

Amanda and Michael cannot wait to celebrate their story with all their friend's and families. The journey is far from over as this fairytale is only just beginning. Please join us in celebrating the next chapter!
