Antjuan and Amanda are both natives of the Birmingham, Alabama area. Antjuan graduated from Ramsay High School in Birmingham and Amanda graduated from Thompson High School in Alabaster. They both went on to attend the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa where they first crossed paths. Amanda became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority in the spring of 2006 and Antjuan became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity in the fall of 2007. Although they had no idea what the future held, they often crossed paths as members of their respective greek organizations and became well acquainted with one another.  

In the summer of 2013, after they had both graduated from the University, they crossed paths again on a Friday evening in Birmingham. Antjuan, who was living in Memphis at the time, was home for the weekend celebrating his birthday and Amanda was out celebrating with friends. For some reason unknown to them, the two were very excited to see each other as they had not seen one another since college. After a brief conversation that evening and exchanging of information the following day, the two began to communicate often and eventually formed a long distance relationship. Less than 6 months later, Antjuan relocated to Birmingham and the rest is history!

Amanda and Antjuan both currently have careers in the pharmaceutical sales industry. During their free time they enjoy traveling, attending University of Alabama athletic events and spending time with friends and family. They attend Church of the Highlands Riverchase campus.

ABOUT US

Amanda and Antjuan became engaged on May 1, 2015. Antjuan had been in Nashville, Tennessee all week for work. He called Amanda on his way back to Birmingham and asked if she wanted to go to dinner. Little did she know he would be proposing that night!

When Antjuan arrived he asked her to come open the door, but when she did no one was there. She looked down at the welcome mat and saw a white envelope that read "Diamonds Direct". She immediately started tearing up before she could even open the envelope. Inside was the sweetest card that asked her to meet him at the place where they had their first date, Do-Di-Yos Restaurant in Homewood.

Upon arriving, she was instructed by Antjuan's card to go inside and ask for "Spivey party of two." With a little help from the hostess, Amanda realized he had planned a scavenger hunt to reenact their first date! The last stop was the place where they had their first kiss, and where their lifetime commitment would begin. When Amanda turned the corner, Antjuan was standing there. He got down on one knee, proposed, and she said "YES!!!". Afterwards, they joined their parents who had been waiting to celebrate with them!

The Proposal.
