Our love story
Amanda and Christopher first met at an Army Reserve unit that they were assigned to in January of 2021. After messaging back and forth and working together for a few months, they decided to start dating on the 24th of May 2021. Shortly thereafter Christopher left Virginia and went to Missouri for 6 months for military training. Upon completion of his training Amanda and Christopher took a cross-country drive back to the state of Virginia, through Indiana, and Ohio. Soon after, Christopher started pre-mob training for an upcoming deployment. While in Mississippi for training, Amanda found out she was pregnant with their first child. Christopher went away on deployment but was able to come home for the birth of Harmonie in November before returning to complete his deployment. In March of 2023, Christopher returned home for good, and the couple moved to a townhome in Woodbridge. Their love story continued to unfold, filled with adventures, challenges, and an unbreakable bond. Amanda and Christopher knew they were meant to be together, facing whatever came their way as a team. On November 11th, 2023, Christopher asked for Amanda's hand in marriage with the help of their daughter Harmonie. Now, they are planning their wedding with friends and family.
