At the beginning of Senior year of High School, two lunch tables merged into one and a friendship began.
By Spring, Amanda had wooed Justin and convinced him to go on their first date- even if he would not admit it was a date at the time.
After an incredible summer, Justin and Amanda parted ways, him to Penn and her to WashU. They decided to give long-distance a chance.
As fond as absence makes the heart grow, Justin had enough absence. He applied to WashU and was accepted into the Transfer Class of 2009.
After two years of forming lasting friendships and growing together, Justin and Amanda decided to move in together. Little did they know this St. Louis apartment would be the biggest apartment they would live in for many, many years.
After graduation, Justin and Amanda loaded up the Tahoe and moved to their first shoebox in New York City, she pursuing a law degree and he following a career in product design.
Justin knew that he wanted the ring to be special and unique to fit Amanda's personality. As an engineer, he was immediately drawn to the tension setting. Even though the ring was nothing like the type of ring Amanda thought she wanted, Justin knew her better than she knew herself (as usual). After four long months of waiting for the ring to be custom made, the day finally arrived.
After tricking Amanda into a romantic dinner alone, a very nervous Justin managed to continue the ruse and get Amanda to solve a puzzle. As you may have guessed, the code that Amanda solved was a proposal in disguise. As you may not have guessed, that was not the first time Amanda had seen that code. This code first appeared in Justin's entry in Amanda's yearbook after their first summer together. During their years together, Amanda asked, "What does my yearbook say?" a minimum of 1,000 times. Justin finally told her and received the answer he was hoping for.
