Amanda and Ryan initially connected on Bumble in May 2023 and bonded over their love for Alaska. They began talking and forming a friendship, but they unexpectedly drifted apart due to the chaos of life.
Then, in January 2024, while casually scrolling through Snapchat one evening, Amanda spotted a post from her hairstylist featuring a photo of Ryan. Intrigued, she reached out to her stylist, who replied with a simple yet heartfelt message: “Ryan would still love to take you out.” A few days later, they decided to reconnect—and the spark between them was instant. From that moment on, they’ve been inseparable, building a bond that felt truly meant to be.
Their first official date had been at Barcelona Wine Bar, so when Ryan decided to propose, it felt only fitting to do it at Arrington Vineyard over a glass of wine. The vineyard had become one of their favorite spots, making it the perfect place for such a significant moment.
