The short story of us ♡

Randall & I met through a mutual friend. We slowly became the best of friends! He has stuck by my side through the worst of times & he was only my friend. I’ve cried in his arms multiple times over stupid boys & he has never once tried to overstep any sort of boundary. He was simply there to listen, & give me the best advise he can. I will fill everyone in on something funny though. He indeed slipped up on his “boundary” part once. I was in the livingroom of 312(his work house) sitting on the couch, waiting for the guy I was seeing at the time who was upstairs getting dressed. We are sitting there talking about eachothers work day & what my plans were for the night. Thats when he grew a huge amount of balls.😂Randall told me I had coal dirt on my face. Naturally I asked him where so I could get it off. He says “ill get it.” Leans in & starts making out with me..🤦🏻‍♀️😳 I quickly pull away(drunk as a skunk might I add) & look around, say have a good night & dart out the front door as fast as I could. He laughed his ass off. I heard him as I scrambled out the door & knowing him now, i know that laughing continued for atleast another day or so. I on the other hand was beside myself for days over this. But that somehow didn’t ruin our friendship. We just both pretended it never happened & went on being the best of friends ONLY. Poor guy was friend zoned for months before given a chance & I can say that I’m so grateful I took that big chance & stopped questioning it because he truely is the best thing to have ever happened to me. He proposed right before Valentines Day in 2017 (nothing fancy, we don’t do fancy) & we ran and got married at a courthouse in Indiana on June 20th 2017. We have both always wanted a traditional wedding with all of our family and friends by our side so this is why we are doing a vow renewal and reception. We can’t wait to be surrounded by the people we love the most to do all of this one last time! As I always say, Some things are worth saying twice.💜

Who said the L word first? ❤︎

Before I decided to finally take the lead of faith & take our friendship to the next level, Randall was never anything aside from a true gentlemen. He was always the most respectful, supportive, & down to earth best friend a girl could have. Though he used to always stare at me in the oddest, yet cutest way. Usually randomly just while sitting talking about something as simple as how my our day at work was, or what I finally decided to eat that day. (He sure knew I was ALWAYS hungry/eating, but SO indecicive on what to make.🤷🏻‍♀️) He always gave me that look, almost as if he was smiling with his eyes everytime he looked at me. I would constantly ask him as to why he looked at me in that distinct way & he always just smiled really big & replied with “just because...you will find out soon enough.” Till one day I was working & after weeks of this, it started killing me at this point to find out what this was all about; so I had to text him & one last time all but beg to know what it was all about without getting the normal response of “just because...you’ll find out soon enough.” Because lets be real, it was driving me completely crazy at this point. Not expecting to get the response of- “I always look at you the way I do because I love you Amanda” ....🤯 well lets talk about how mind blown I was to hear that. but after about a month of getting “the look” it all finally made sense. But little did he know as good as I tried to play the “I’m not letting my walls down for anyone again” he slowly but surely stole my heart the same as I stole his.❥
