We met in 2018 working together at (can you believe it) Starbucks in the city of Antioch. Working together was a blast! We grew closer with the music and laughter we shared with each other and also going to see every Marvel movie that came to theaters with our friends!

Jake proposed in the early evening. He had set up a casual dinner with his family at their house in Oakley. Not knowing until Amanda got there, her mother (who was also secretly invited) opened the door and walked her to the back yard where Jake was standing on the Mexican blanket Amanda has given to him as a gift. He got down on one knee as Father John Misty’s album “I Love You Honeybear” was playing.
