The beginning of Amanda Sudano and her husband Abner Ramirez’s love story was far from smooth. Per Johnnyswim’s website, Abner felt love-at-first sight upon seeing Amanda. He said aloud, “That’s the girl I’m going to marry”. He declared it aloud in front of his date (who promptly became his last ex), the website said.
