Nick and Amanda first connected through mutual friends online where Nick reached out to Amanda in late 2017. They then had their first date on a very snowy morning in January 2018 at their local breakfast diner. They laughed and talked deeply over fresh pancakes and the smell of hot coffee and knew from that point forward they found something special. Fast forward 5 years later in a new home of their own, Nick knelt down, overlooking the river at sunset and asked Amanda to become his wife!
