Our Story

"From a Swipe to 'I Do' — with a Little Help from Bowie."

Like many modern love stories, ours started with a dating app — yes, the one with the bee! We were both a little skeptical about finding anything real online, but fate (and good algorithms) had other plans. Believe it or not, we actually matched eight months before our first real conversation. Life got busy, and nothing came of it… until July 2022. What finally sparked something? Amanda, of course — but also her adorable puppy, Bowie. Brennan, despite being allergic to dogs, had always dreamed of having one just like him. That fun fact became the perfect conversation starter, and it worked. Our first date was on August 13, 2022 — a day that changed everything. That evening, Brennan didn’t just meet Amanda; he met Bowie, too. From that point on, our connection grew far beyond the app. It became something real, something lasting. We may have met in a modern way, but what we’ve built together feels timeless. And that’s why Bowie will be a special part of our big day — he’s been there since the very beginning.
