Amanda Quintana Husband/Wedding
Amanda is married to Justin McKetney. The couple tied the knot on August 28, 2021, in a private ceremony in Vallejo, California.
Justin and Amanda met at a Halloween party and fell in love.
“It was Halloween – my first-holiday party as a college freshman! That meant creative (and a little scandalous) costumes, dirty frat houses, and a lot of alcohol – not the kind of place you expect to find your future husband. I had met a cute guy at a sorority barbecue a few days before and made it my goal to find him at this party. I was dressed in a referee costume I borrowed from a sorority sister. Soon enough word got out that I was looking for Justin and his fraternity brothers made it embarrassingly obvious, yelling his name and trying to push the two of us together,” Amanda narrated.
“That night we kissed on the balcony of what would become his next apartment. It’s where we made our crew of best friends, made questionable decisions many college students make, and most importantly — fell in love,” she added.
“We’ve grown up together. We spent three years apart as we both followed our different career paths and still found our way back to one another. That “frat guy” will soon have a “Ph.D.” behind his name. I have no doubts he will be a caring, loving husband and a phenomenal father to our future children. But to me, he will always be that funny guy in a backward hat, earrings, and Berkeley sweatshirt who was too cool for a Halloween costume and had no idea the incredibly beautiful, roller coaster of a love story he was about to be part of.”
