From the bride…Andrew and I first met in high school in a theater class. Joking and flirting led to us being each other valentines and we shared our first kiss on Valentine’s Day back in 2005. We bonded over music, movies, and writing, and quickly became very close. Over the course of our relationship, we created a beautiful home together where we live with two adorable furbabies, Harvey the giant bunny and Abbie our maltipoo, along with countless plants. We love cooking, traveling, caring for our animals, and spending time with our friends and families. Andrew and I are passionate about learning and growing as people and believe in always being honest with each other. We’re excited to be married and are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives.

When I walked into the hotel room, I remember how stunning Amanda looked. Her hair and makeup looked flawless and she looked her best self, which I think is the goal of every bride I have ever met. She looked happy and it radiated from her and it even brought me to tears later on. I was truly happy for her and the journey her and Andrew have shared. All the days of dating, the months of planning the wedding have led up to this moment. The weather was beautiful and the ocean was a perfect backdrop for this wedding. After the ceremony at Cuvier Cove, the party went to Karl Strauss and the food was amazing!! Andrew and Amanda, thank you and I am very happy for you both.
