Amanda and Randall met at Bowling Green State University in 2006. Although they went their separate ways, they couldn't be kept apart and reconnected in 2016. After a year of long distance, Randall moved to Louisville, so the couple could be closer together, and Amanda joined him there shortly after. This couple's proposal couldn't have been sweeter. Amanda says, "Randall proposed to me in downtown Loveland. We packed BLTs for the humans and chicken and rice for Lola (our dog). We stopped to play on the swings, then Randall and Lola splashed in the river. After walking around for an unusually long time, Randall got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. We celebrated with our favorite ice cream from Graters that night. We kept it our secret until the next day when we celebrated with my family."
