We're Getting Married!

Chris and Amanda met one fateful night when he came to Buffalo for a friend's brother's wedding! The Echeverria family has been a significant part of Chris's and Amanda's life! Amanda's Maid of Honor is Ashley Echeverria whose relative is Johnny & Joel Echeverria. Chris and Amanda met at Johnny Echeverria's brother Tommy's wedding at Lucarelli's Banquets in Buffalo on June 4, 2011. Johnny's other brother Joel and Amanda have been friends since she was 12. Joel invited Amanda to Tommy's wedding. She even had a date to the wedding, but that didn't stop Chris from taking a shot and talking to her! After that night, even though they lived in different cities, they talked every day and visited each other almost monthly. After 6 months of talking and visiting, Amanda made things a little more interesting by taking a job in Australia! So they continued their relationship from both ends of a globe! Amanda was apprehensive at first, and the distance sure put a strain on them and really tested their relationship. By the grace of God, they took things day by day, and their relationship is now stronger than ever! They are excited to be taking this next step in their relationship and getting married! They can't wait to celebrate with everyone on their special day!
