When We Met

Don't take 'NO' for an answer, April 9th, 2015

On an April day like any other we went out with friends for dinner at Wasabi's in downtown Seattle. After a great dinner, we all decided to continue having some fun at a nearby club. As the night came to an end, everybody met in the parking lot to go their separate ways. Amanda planned on requesting a taxi to go home, but Vlad and his friend insisted to drive her. Once at the destination, Vlad waited patiently until she got inside the building and into her home safe. Two days later they contacted each other again and have been inseparable ever since!

The Proposal

Still not taking 'NO' for an answer, October 29th, 2016

By this time, Amanda's instinct told her that a proposal was on the horizon, but after a romantic summer trip to Paris, and month-long journey through Romania, her hopes of a proposal were dashed. This was all part of Vlad's carefully devised plan to ask for Amanda's hand in marriage! On Amanda's favourite holiday (ie. Halloween) we decided to get lost in a Corn Maze and pick pumpkins on their pumpkin patch. Vlad was very nervous and did not seem like himself the whole day. Finally, he got down on one knee and asked the question! Amanda, shocked, surprised and in disbelief answered: "Nooooo!", but she immediately gave her resounding "YES!" which was followed by a few hours of shaking with excitement.

Our Big Day

Definitely not taking 'NO' for an answer, April 9th, 2018

We decided to tie the knot on in the middle of a weeklong vacation, happening April 7-14, 2018 in La Romana, Dominican Republic. We would be delighted for you to join us and celebrate this once in a lifetime event! Amanda & Vlad will say YES to each other in the Garden Venue of the Dreams Resort. Hope to see you there, we will be waiting!
