We met for breakfast at Aretha Frankenstein's (this is totally on our list of recommendations) in Chattanooga, Tennessee (the halfway point between Nashville and Atlanta) and had our first and last first date over pancakes on an old school Pac Man table.
We spent the rest of the day playing tourists and talking and laughing, and making fun of the kitschy-ness of of Rock City. Amanda knew on the drive home that this was something special.

One date turned into many, and lots of miles in between. David and Amanda would alternate visits back and forth between Atlanta and Nashville, and sometimes other cities thrown in for fun. The first time they said "I love you" was in Asheville, North Carolina, after spending the weekend exploring, going to baseball games, chasing waterfalls, and visiting breweries.

In May of 2016, Amanda made the move to Nashville so the two could be together. After just over a year in Nashville together, David came home from work one day and told Amanda to pack her bags for the weekend, they were going on a trip. They drove the 2 hour drive (through torrential rain!) down through Chattanooga to a little town called Flintstone, Georgia. It was there that they stayed in a magical little house up in the trees. And it was the next morning that David woke her up (suuuuuper early) to go see the sunrise on Signal mountain.

On June 15, 2017, on top of Snooper's Rock in front of God and the most glorious sunrise ever, David asked Amanda to "do life with him", and here we are. You're invited to the beginning of their forever.
