Amber and John met while torturing themselves by pursuing masters degrees. They commiserated with weekly happy hours with friends until the end of September when they attended Roots + Blues, a yearly music festival held in their college town. Amber slowly fed John more beer until she worked up the courage to make a move during the Nathaniel Rateliff set. They've been together ever since. Two years later, John proposed at a Nathaniel Rateliff concert in Las Vegas. They got to go back stage after the concert, at which point, the venue and everyone in charge forgot they were there. Left solely with a pitcher of beer, the two have been living there ever since.
