Our wedding is far and in a small town with limited accommodations, so we recommend booking your stay as soon as possible. We've linked recommended hotels and rentals on the "Where to Stay" page of our website. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Our Story
Coffee Meets Bagel
When we tell people we met on a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel, we are often asked, "Well, who's coffee and who's bagel?"
Brendan is like the first sip of hot coffee on a quiet morning: warm and energizing. Amanda is the freshly toasted, buttered bagel that completes the experience-equally comforting, perfectly complementary, and with both those on the table: simply better together than apart. Yes, we are making food analogies already. The truth is, we are no longer one without the other. We came from two completely different places in life and found our person in the midst of it all.
In November 2025, against the backdrop of a beautiful castle courtyard in Sintra, Portugal, Brendan asked Amanda to marry him on the steps. Surrounded by close family in an emotional and joyous whirlwind, Amanda yelled "Shut the fu** up!" with an immediate "YES!!" Time was spent hugging family, exchanging tears of happiness and lots and lots of pictures.
Now we are SO looking forward to solidifying our next chapter together and feel incredibly grateful to celebrate it with the people we love most. Thank you for being part of our story, every bit along the way.
