Back in 2015 when no one was looking for love, these two found each other. With career aspirations at the forefront of their meeting and Amanda knowing that Patrick was a super-star marketer, a friendship blossomed. A parasitic friendship some might say, as he usually ate her snacks. It was a fast-growing friendship with Patrick playing harmless office pranks on Amanda for just over two years before she had had enough of it and moved away to Miami, to never look back and never think of the handsome Patrick Schramm ever again. One fateful weekend Amanda decided to come back to NY for a visit. She planned a brunch with a group of former coworkers. That day Patrick knew it was his time to make a move. All went well, so pasta with peas, ham and a cognac sauce were brought into play. Later that weekend, Patrick asked Amanda out on their first date. They had ventured down the arduous journey from awkward work acquaintances to estranged former friends, down to lovers. Countless trips from NY to Miami, Miami to NY, and finally an apartment was decided on. It was in this very apartment, 5 months after Amanda moved in, that Patrick got on one knee and asked her if she wanted to share the same level of joy, laughter, tears, and comfort forever. Cementing their fates and finally finding Bailey a suitable mother.
