We're Getting Married!

After matching on Bumble in January 2019, Amanda sent the inventive first message of "Hey Richard" and much to her surprise received a response. We texted for a few weeks before setting a date. After some scheduling difficulty due to Rich's allergies, we finally met on February 11, 2019 at Station House in Forest Hills.

With winter fast approaching and the opportunity for a pleasant outdoor dining experience diminishing, Amanda's mom asked if she would like to go to brunch on a Saturday that Rich was supposed to be at work. When the day arrived, Rich's alarm went off bright and early and he went to work as planned, or so Amanda thought. When she arrived at her parents' house she walked into the backyard and was surprised when Rich came out from behind the house, pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him. Her answer, of course, was yes!
