Amanda and I have known each other for many years. We share a sense of humor and an enjoyment of the funny little things in life. We are both software engineers and have a nerdy interest in such things. We’re both warm and friendly people, though sometimes a little reserved. Our tastes are mostly aligned though Amanda veers towards the goth side while I am a little more likely to be found in a smoking lounge. We have a sense of the wedding we’d like to have. The type of venue, the decorations, and the sensibility. Earnest, heartfelt, but irreverent.
