Amanda and Thomas crossed paths for the first time by colliding into one another on the street. As they both steadied themselves from almost falling, Thomas made a silly remark comparing himself to the Titanic. Amanda's contagious laugh caught him off gaurd and he fell in love immediately. They spoke for a few minutes, then turned to be on their own ways. Thomas knew it was now or never, so with amazing courage he turned back around and asked the beautiful stranger on a date. The rest is history!

The couple married Thanksgiving weekend on a beautiful California fall day. The flowers were some of the most gorgeous we’ve seen, deep red, burnt orange, and laced with berries. Amanda and Thomas’ wedding was an intimate affair held in the backyard of the bride's parent’s home. Their closest family members attended and the rest of their family and friends witnessed the celebration via Live Stream setup by All Because He Asked Wedding Videography.  Directly following the ceremony the couple was toasted by family onsite, as well as by pre-recorded toasts from those who couldn’t be there. Amanda and Thomas also gave a beautiful thank you speech to their guests who were there and watching via live stream. After the toasts they went straight into their first dance and parents dances allowing all the far-away guests to watch the events and feel like they were there.

In the new normal for 2020 Amanda and Thomas’ guests wore protective face masks; however each guest received a special transparent mask so we could see all their smiling faces. Food was plentiful and delicious! Amanda and Thomas served their five course dinner neatly and individually packed. Then to top off their fully bellies, the Lobster Truck arrived!

My husband, Jamie (All Because He Asked) and I had a wonderful time getting to know Amanda and Thomas.  We wish them a lifetime of happiness and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.
