They both met in the lifestyle, so there was no doubt that Amanda and Ray wanted to keep swinging as a part of their life. However, since they had both been swingles before they'd met, they needed to figure out their new rules and boundaries as a couple. It took a lot of discussion between the two to figure out exactly what those rules and boundaries were. They discovered that the rules in each situation can change... and even more so when playing as a couple, because two people's feelings are involved. But the one thing they both knew was that playing together as a couple was a whirlwind of fun. Introducing all of their friends to their new relationship was interesting too. Some couples took more adjusting than others to understand that there where two of them to pay attention to now. Some were easier, some harder. The hardest parts were getting some of their friends to understand how their "cannonball" lifestyle works; meaning how fast their love grew, how they liked to be social butterflies and how they could do this together as a team so easily.

Even with some of these bumps they both agreed that they loved the lifestyle and wanted to stay in it. But they needed to try actually playing as couple to make sure that it would work between them. So they did dinner and drinks with some friends to test the waters. Apparently the water was great, because the evening ending with some full swap. Playtime was incredible and Ray and Amanda were so excited to see each others responses, facial expressions and noises. But the best part was ending up back in each other's arms... then having a sexy night cap of their own. From there, their lifestyle experiences together turned to meet-n-greets of 300+, to even hosting the New Year's Eve party at La Bare's. Amanda and Ray only know one speed, and that's fast!

Ray proposed to Amanda in front of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre IN Paris, France... COME ON!!! She had to say yes to that!...it was inevitable. The engagement was March of 2008 and their wedding ceremony is scheduled for March 14th, 2009 in Houston. It will be a small chapel ceremony with their close family and friends, followed by a throw down party with a LOT of friends and family (yes, swinger friends too). Their honeymoon will be at Temptation Resort in Cancun. Ray and Amanda can barely wait for the wedding... in fact, they are wearing their wedding rings already!

Amanda and Ray say that they can't imagine being happier. There is a precious and beautiful playground awaiting those who can accept and be willing to experience this joy without jealousy or walls of contempt. They have found that "greener meadow" and they will be happy to share it with those who are willing.
