After a series of events, Mikey was stranded in Mt. Airy, somewhere he "would never go". Turns out the same night his cousin Ant was at a bar in the same town, so they met up. That night Amanda was their bartender. They talked for a little while after Amanda carded Mikey. They realized they were from the same area and had a lot of things in common. Before Amanda could get back to the table to say goodbye, they left. A few days later, Amanda could not stop thinking about him, so she stalked him on social media. She did not know what to say or if he was feeling the same way, so she made up a fake sweatshirt being left at the bar. Mikey knew the whole time it was fake but played along with it so he could see her again. They talked for a week and the Mikey asked her out on a date. They went to River Hill Grill for drinks and the conversation flowed. There were no awkward moments or lapse in conversation. Ever since then they've been inseparable.
Mikey had been planning the proposal for weeks. He knew he wanted to do it during the family weekend before Thanksgiving, when they all go down to the beach for family pictures. He entrusted his mom to help him and to keep it a secret. She did a good job for about 2 weeks. Right before they left, everyone in the family knew and was helping to plan. The day after they got to Ocean City, everyone went to the beach to do family photos. While taking pictures Mikey got down on one knee and popped the question! Amanda of course said YES!
