Tyler moved down to Raleigh in January 2020 for a job change right before covid. Amanda was living downtown, but was staying at Sunset Beach with her sister and some friends until June.

Amanda went back to Raleigh and decided it would be time to start looking for a partner on some dating apps. It was a Tuesday night and Amanda was drinking some wine, watching tv, and scrolling through bumble when she matched with Tyler. She was drawn to his green eyes and infectious smile and decided to make the first move by messaging him. Tyler and Amanda instantly started chatting and soon found out that not only did they live in the same apartment complex, but they lived THREE doors down from one another.

That Tuesday night, they were chatting and discussed what wine they were both sipping on and came to the revelation that they were both drinking each others favorite Josh wine. Tyler was drinking Amanda's favorite (Cab Sauv) and she was drinking his favorite (Pinot Noir).

They set up a time for the next day to meet for drinks at Little City Brewing which was a very long 1 minute walk from their apartment. Tyler "picked" Amanda and Kensly up and they headed down to the bar. They enjoyed a couple of beers and chatted about their families, jobs, goals, etc. Tyler instantly fell in love with Kensly (the pug) and the rest is history!
