Zach and Amanda met on Bumble, and even though sparks did NOT fly on their first date, they became friends through volleyball and weekend adventuring. They had remained friends for a year and half and it wasn't until June 2023 that both of them started to get a crush. It took one camping trip to Idaho with a hard, but beautiful mountain climb, and spectacular hot springs soak afterwards for them to realize they really liked one another. That night Amanda spilled the beans even though she was VERY nervous about possibly losing her best friend, but he felt the same. And the rest is history!
