Elvin and Amanda met while both working at the Westview Promenade. “He worked at the Quiznos and I worked for a doctor’s office inside of LensCrafters. We were just friends at first. I guess that’s truly how every great relationship starts. He won me over by how funny and kind-hearted he was.”
Amanda was in her vegetable garden the day Elvin proposed. “I had just come inside with our first cucumber of the season. I was so excited to show him. While cleaning off the cucumber I walked out of the kitchen into the living room where Elvin and the kids were. There was Elvin down on one knee with a stunning ring in hand. I was so shocked I just kept cleaning the cucumber. I even asked if the ring was for me.”
Elvin and Amanda wed 10 years and one day after their anniversary. 158 guests were in attendance, including four bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid, four groomsmen, and a ring bearer. “It was very important that our ceremony be not only about us but also our two families becoming one. We wanted everyone to walk away from our ceremony knowing how much we love each other, and how committed we are to each other.”
Elvin is the owner of Padilla Master Clean and Amanda is an admissions coordinator for Citizens Care & Rehab. The couple and their children reside in Frederick.
