New York, New York

Amanda Blakley and Adam Moffat, October 18, 2008, New York. By Roseanne Dela Rosa

About the Couple
Bride: Amanda Blakley
Groom: Adam Moffat
Occupations: Adam is a PR manager and Amanda is the co-founder of The Society, “a culture club for the creative class.”
How they met: At a birthday party for a mutual friend.
Favourite date: A surprise birthday weekend in Los Angeles.
What attracted her to him: “His mean tennis game. Plus, he made me laugh.”
What attracted him to her: “Her green eyes.”
Engagement story: Adam and Amanda were down in New York for the launch of The Society N.Y.C. After a great launch and a fun weekend with friends, Adam stole Amanda away for a late brunch at Tavern on the Green. After brunch they went outside to the courtyard to take a few photos. Adam was so nervous and scared that instead of saying something wildly poetic and romantic, he told her how much he loved her and wanted to be with her always, and then he dropped to one knee and showed her the ring. She was shocked and still hadn’t said yes even after putting the ring on her finger!
Words they live by: Take the time to appreciate life’s special moments, whether it is sharing a laugh, hanging out or exploring new places. Life moves fast so you need to make an effort to savour time spent together. Celebrate your partner for who they are—quirks and all.
