Amanda was extremely wonderful in helping me in surprising my wife in renewing our wedding vows. The wife had No clue on what was about to happen.

I had wanted to surprise my wife with renewing our wedding vows. I reserved a Tiki Hut Boat cruise and then searched for someone to perform the wedding. After several failed attempts on acquiring someone, finally a very warm voice came across the phone explaining her upmost interest on helping me to surprise my wife with a wedding on a Sunset Boat Cruise in Panama City Beach. Amanda Nichols was amazing to put up all the phone calls back & forth, because there were several times the wife caught me sneaking to call Amanda and I had to hang-up on Amanda,… She just laughed and said ya having a hard time keeping this a secret aren’t ya,…. lol We wore our matching Orange UT Jersey Shirts & Black Shorts,.. Amanda wore her Alabama Jersey Shirt,… We boarded the Tiki Hut Boat, I introduced my wife to Amanda (which I just met myself) as my long lost friend to share the Evening Sunset Boat Cruise with,… Then Capt John stopped the boat about an hour away from the shore and then Captain John & Amanda looked at me and said “It’s Time”,… The wife was like “Time For What”,… We Had An Amazing & Wonderful Sunset Wedding on An Awesome Tiki Hut Boat,….
Thank Ya Amanda,… 😎😃🫶
