For those of you who don't know Amanda and I met on a dating website. We collectively thought we ran the gamut of potential partners. Each one being a version of the last one.

One day their she was, a light in the darkness. She was beautiful, charming and way out of my league. I sent a message, never thinking she would respond...but she did.

We talked through email for a week before she finally agreed to a date. There would be four dates before I made my BIG move. I FINALLY kissed her, and it was MAGIC!!! Sparks flew and fireworks were in the sky. After the fourth date she was everything I didn't know I wanted and everything I didn't know I was looking for. She was everything I ever wanted.

Almost 2 years later.. here we are.

...He may have had a couple beers the night he proposed but he assures me that he meant to do it!

This man has been the best friend and most amazing partner in this crazy life. Everyday that we spend together makes me more certain that we were meant for each other. I won the fiance lottery with this one! Not only is he an amazing chef he is also quite handy. I love his creative mind and his hopeful heart. He is the "Chip to my Joanna".

We are so excited to start this next chapter of our life together and thrilled to have our loved ones join us for the celebration. Come on 10/6/2017!!
