Once upon a time in the often bizarre world of online dating, Sal and Amanda found each other in the virtual realm of Bumble. It was a magical swipe that brought them together, setting the stage for a love story filled with laughter, nachos, and unexpected reunions. In a dark corner of Rosita's, a charming Mexican restaurant near Amanda's home in Seattle, Sal arrived early for his and Amanda’s first date. What he did not expect was to find his date had already arrived and was half a margarita deep, gazing lovingly at her pile of nachos, eyes gleaming with cheese-induced excitement. Amanda, on the other hand, insists that Sal's memory might be a tad exaggerated, but deep down, she knows it checks out. Nevertheless, their shared love for food served as the perfect seasoning for their blossoming romance. Throughout that summer, Sal and Amanda embarked on countless adventures, exploring the nooks and crannies of Seattle. But as fate would have it, just when life seemed to be unfolding like a perfect rom-com, Sal dropped a bombshell: he had been accepted into MIT. There was an undeniable excitement in his voice as he shared the news, but they both admittedly felt a little disappointed that they weren’t going to be able to continue getting to know one another. Reluctantly, Sal and Amanda decided to part ways. Their separate paths led them to different corners of the country, but the universe had a surprise in store for them. A few months after Sal’s departure, Amanda found herself jetting off to Boston for a conference. Sal generously offered Amanda a place to crash. She interpreted his kind gesture as some next-level Canadian niceness and agreed. As soon as Amanda arrived, it was crystal clear that their decision to remain "just friends" had been tossed out the window like a stale Tim Hortons donut. It was game over for their so-called non-relationship, and it was time to embrace the romantic mayhem that is long-distance dating! Fast forward through nearly two years of long-distance hurdles, one pandemic (talk about unexpected plot twists), multiple cross-country road trips, and moving between four different states like a game of real-life Monopoly. Add in one proposal that could rival any Hollywood rom-com, and the shared excitement of buying their first house—voilà! Sal and Amanda find themselves standing hand in hand for the next chapter of their lives to begin. These past six years have been a whirlwind of side-splitting adventures, personal growth that comes with surviving hilariously difficult situations, and an unbreakable bond that can handle any curveball life throws their way. It's a testament to their ability to find humor in the most absurd situations and their shared love for nachos (because, hey, some things never change).
