The sweetness of these three makes me weak at the knees. I have known dear Amanda since high school and have always loved her spirit. She’s always so warm, welcoming and so positive. When the news popped up that she was engaged, I couldn’t help but think how lucky her fiancé was to snag such a catch and was entirely giddy when we got to chatting about wedding plans and photos! I learned that these two met when they were 14 years old. Amanda admittedly says that for some odd reason, she was completely taken by him and gave her best high school flirting a go. She finally got his attention and they attended homecoming together. They have always been the others go-to, the one they could call at 1am, there was always something about them that kept the other in their lives, whether they were dating or not. Fate likely has something to do with it, but years later, they found themselves picked up right where they left off and wouldn’t change where this life has brought them for anything in the world. Being together has a family of three has taught them that home isn’t a place, it’s a person, it’s family.

From high school homecoming to chasing each other around the kitchen with screams and giggles, these three are up for one happy life together (and I have goosbumps just writing this… I love their story.) Feeling so lucky to hang with them and witness all the joy in their lives! Mega thanks to Given’s Farm for having us, we can’t wait to visit again for their wedding day!!

Meet: Jake, Amanda + Melanie, three of the most awesome people ever!:
