After months of exchanging glances from across the street, the story starts in March of 2021 when Amanda shouted, "Hey! Do you surf?" after seeing the ten surfboards hung on the walls in Matt's garage. The rest is history. Since that fateful day, we surfed together, got our advanced open water diver certification together, and caught Covid together. In November of 2022, Matt knelt down on one-knee during sunset at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Amanda screamed, "Are you serious? Yes!" and proceeded to put the engagement ring on the wrong hand herself. We set the date for September of 2023 and are asking you to celebrate our soon-to-be marriage on the sixteenth.
