today. tomorrow. forever.

On June 5, 2025, on the enchanting shores of Catalina Island, Aidan and Amanda wandered hand in hand through the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden. The path led them to the shrine’s outlook, where the world seemed to pause in stillness. With his heart racing and nerves fluttering, Aidan pointed out what he claimed was a fox below, urging Amanda to look. As she searched for the elusive creature, unaware of his true plan, she turned back to find a moment she would never forget—Aidan, down on one knee, his eyes filled with love, ready to ask her to spend forever by his side. “Sorry I lied to you about the fox. I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time and I’ve had failed plan after failed plan after failed plan and I’m tired of trying to find the right moment and I think that any moment spending my life with you is the best moment I can think of. Amanda Michelle Nieves, will you marry me?” With her heart overflowing, Amanda’s answer was immediate: “Yes, of course!” There may not have been a fox that day, but what Amanda found was far more lasting—a promise of forever.
