HOW THEY MET

It all started at a bar...

Matt Kessler and his twin brother, Evan, swung by a little, local watering hole
on East 11th called Nickel City while Amanda Carto was working her usual
Wednesday shift. The conversation was brief, but Carto gave Matt a wooden nickel
for a free drink in hopes he would come back. A month later, Amanda was at the
bar working on her computer and heard a voice asking about Nickel City's
pinball. She turned to see who was bothering her bar back, and noticed it was
the same guy she gave a wooden nickel to a month before. After talking for an
hour, Amanda said the bar's pinball was already with a set vendor, but if Matt
wanted to hang out more she was free Sunday. That Sunday, Matt & Amanda went to
Hard Luck Lounge for their first date, and things have never been the same.


HOW HE PROPOSED

Down In New Orleans...

During their first date, Amanda and Matt both quickly learned they have a shared
deep love for New Orleans. It stands as the city they both have traveled to the
most together and separately. On May 15th, 2022, Matt and Amanda walked down
Royal towards their favorite wine bar, Bacchanal. A storm was coming in from the
south, and the weather looked like it was about to take a turn for the worse.
Matt saw a small barbecue joint, appropriately called The Joint, painted in
black and yellow and a green space across the street with an old live oak and
two wooden swings. He asked Amanda to sit on the swing and asked him to be with
him for the rest of his life. She said yes, absolutely, of course. The skies
cleared up, the humidity dropped, and they celebrated their new chapter with
champagne and noodles. Their story now continues in Lockhart, Texas where they
hope you can join them on their wedding day.
