We're Getting Married!

Amanda and Matt first met on the labor and delivery unit when they were both interns at the University of Wisconsin. Matt was an ER resident and Amanda an OB resident. After a couple of years they eventually decided they couldn't live without each other. They bought a house, adopted their dog, Cooper, and now can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife!

It was just an average day in June. Amanda was in the middle of a 24 hour call shift at the hospital. She had no patients in labor, so was asleep in her call room taking a nap when her pager went off telling her she was needed for an emergent delivery in room 477. As she ran down the stairs to labor and delivery and rounded the corner to 477 (initially very annoyed that no one had called to tell her that a patient of hers was on their way in to the hospital! The nerve!), she noted that it was suspiciously quiet and Amanda began to suspect that something was up (she may have muttered something along the lines of "what the hell is going on in here," but who can really remember the details!?). She entered the room and not only was there no laboring patient, but there was Matt on one knee with a ring and a large bouquet of roses! He had gathered some of her friends and co-workers in the room with him and right then and there asked her to marry him! The rest is all a blur, but long story short, she said yes and it was a great celebration with friends. Matt and Amanda went on the have sparkling cider and a celebratory lunch in the hospital cafeteria. Matt then went home and Amanda completed the remaining 20 hours of her call shift at the hospital... Don't worry, though, Matt and Amanda did get a proper celebration that weekend with a fancy dinner at their favorite restaurant, Rare!
