Jesse and Amanda met at her sister's birthday party in 2018. They eased into their relationship by hanging out with friends and family; day drinking on Sunday Fundays and carving pumpkins at night. Jesse was living in Tahoka but worked an hour and a half away, in Hobbs, NM. Jesse called Amanda every day after work to keep him company on his commute home, where they would talk about nothing and everything. In the beginning, they bonded over tattoos and Indie music, which quickly grew into a love for Peter Frampton and a ritual of Indian Cuisine on Thursday nights.

Jesse: Will you marry me? Amanda: Are you sure?
