Boy messaged girl. Girl replied. They met at Dear Irving. After a few drinks and with newfound knowledge that girl loves ice cream, boy took girl to a friend's ice cream shop in the neighborhood. Boy almost immediately dropped the ice cream. Girl scooped up the cup and scraped off the bad bits. They enjoyed the remaining ice cream on the stoop of an antique shop. The rest is history.

Chuck knew early on that Amanda was the one. Three months into dating and at his company holiday party, Chuck revealed all his cards to a very special colleague-turned-family, who encouraged him to continue the journey toward marital bliss. Two years later, that same friend and her sisters helped Chuck plan a beautiful picnic engagement surprise. Of course, Amanda said yes and even had a surprise of her own for Chuck up her sleeve. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you, five years--to the day--after we shared our first scoop of ice cream, and our new journey in matrimony. See you by the river!
