Ted and Amanda met Sept. 2017 playing sand volleyball next to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. We quickly learned we had a crazy amount in common: Ted grew up in MD and Amanda in PA; both moved to The Woodlands, TX where our parents still lived 1 mile apart; both graduated from Univ. of Notre Dame (‘10 & ‘14); and both had a love of family, travel, corny jokes, cheering on the Irish, and dates with "friendly competition" over tennis, Scrabble (...you name it!). Fast forward to Sept. 2020, and Ted proposed to Amanda in The Woodlands while visiting our families. We now live in Alexandria, VA and cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with you in the Philly area!
