We're Getting Married!

Amanda and Michael met in Kindergarten at St. Coleman's Catholic School and went to school together from Kindergarten all the way through graduation with their Bachelor's degrees from Florida State in 2013. It definitely wasn't love-at-first kindergarten recess but they became friends in middle school and stayed friends through first-girlfriends and first-boyfriends. After many many nights spent talking, texting, and flirting with each other, Michael asked Amanda to go to Homecoming with him Junior year. Fast forward a few weeks and Michael asked Amanda to be his girlfriend at a Pepper concert (during a break-up song..) 10 years later and it doesn't seem like the break up song had any negative effect..... They're getting married!

On Michael & Amanda's recent trip to Budapest, Hungary Michael planned a surprise proposal complete with a photographer to capture the moment. A month or two before they were set to leave, Michael told Amanda that his boss had recommended a wine tasting boat tour on her past trip to Budapest and said that he would book it for them. On the day they were set to be going on the wine tour they got breakfast, wandered around the city, and made a climb all the way to the top of St. Stephen's Basilica to take in the views of the city. According to Michael's PDF, (which he had cleverly doctored to change the time and meeting location of the actual wine tour) they were set to meet on the opposite side of the famous 'Chain Bridge' so they walked across and headed to the supposed meeting place on the Buda side of the bridge. Once there, Amanda looked around and noting that there was not a soul in sight except for one lonely photographer taking scenery photos of the bridge she demanded to see the map on the PDF to make sure he had directed them to the right spot. After determining that it did in fact look like they were at the spot the map indicated she started looking around to see where exactly they were supposed to be. While this was happening Michael suggested they ask the only other person around for directions - the photographer. Michael asked the photographer to take a photo of the two of them on his phone. After the photo, Amanda started to walk away (obviously not part of the plan) and after Michael called her name, she turned around and he was down on one knee!
