Amanda + Marc June 16, 2018 The Sterling Ballroom ~ Tinton Falls, New Jersey
Amanda and Marc might have attended the same high school, but since they never spoke to each other or hung out, they can thank Facebook for bringing them together. It was Marc’s first year in college—right before Amanda’s 18th birthday—when he reached out to her via social media. Amanda ignored him, but with some perseverance, Marc reached out again a few months later. They got to know each other through video chat and got together a month later. “I loved how well Marc got along with my family, how he could hold a conversation, and how respectful he was,” Amanda reminisced. Every year since they’ve been together, Amanda and Marc visit Rockefeller Center in NYC to see the Christmas tree and have someone take a picture of them. Kodak happened to be set up on December 6, 2015, so Marc decided to have professional photos taken of them. Amanda was picking their pose out while waiting in line, but little did she know, Marc had something else up his sleeve; a magical and thought out proposal with their families nearby watching. “I knew Amanda was the one after being together for five years and going through ups and downs with each other. No one picks each other up the way we do,” Marc shared.
