It all started on a spirited night in Nashville, during a work conference where fate—and a Steelers game—brought us together. Amanda was at a bar, frustrated and trying to find the game on TV, when Ryan appeared like a knight in shining armor and saved the day. We’d crossed paths briefly earlier that evening, but it wasn’t until that moment—bonding over football and Amanda’s very vocal Steelers commentary—that something truly sparked between us. Even then, we both sensed there was something different about this connection. Though the night ended with simple goodbyes, neither of us could shake the feeling that this might not be the end of our story. And it wasn’t. A few months later, we ran into each other—completely by chance—at an event in California. Ryan tapped Amanda on the shoulder, and there we were again, as if no time had passed. That unexpected reunion led to more conversations, a spontaneous “not-a-date” in Bryant Park, and eventually, a love story that took us from coast to coast and everywhere in between. We became inseparable—traveling together, working side by side, and building a life filled with laughter, adventure, and endless late-night talks. We braved long-distance, met each other’s families, and continued to choose each other every step of the way. Then, on a magical trip to Europe, Ryan surprised Amanda in Zurich with hundreds of roses and a question that would change everything. Surrounded by the Swiss Alps, with tears and laughter and a heart full of yes, Amanda said yes. That moment—romantic, overwhelming, unforgettable—was the start of forever. Today, we’re living in the Midwest, surrounded by love and family, ready to begin the next chapter. From a football game to a chance encounter, to a once-in-a-lifetime proposal—our story has been unexpected, joyful, and completely meant to be. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you, and we can't wait for you to be a part of our beautiful day.
