How did you meet?
A mutual friend introduced us! Amanda lived in WI at the time and Matt lived in MN but we would visit each other most weekends.
What is one thing you love to do together on a free day?
We love to take ski trips out west with friends and have enjoyed taking ballroom dance lessons together as well! We also enjoy trying out new restaurants or having a movie night at home after a long day at work.
How did the proposal go down?
It was perfect! Matt wanted it to be a surprise and it was. We went to a fancy restaurant in Minneapolis and then took a horse drawn carriage ride. Amanda was not suspecting anything because while she wanted Matt to propose, they still hadn't been ring shopping and Amanda thought Matt still needed to ask her dad. Turns out that on the stone arch bridge the carriage pulled over and Matt proposed! He had secretly driven out to Wisconsin the week before to ask Amanda's dad! Also, he proposed with his Mom's first ring so they could shop together afterwards! It was absolutely perfect and more than Amanda could have ever expected!
How long have you been together? And when did you know he/she was the one?
We met almost 4 years ago. We were pretty inseparable after that!
