Andrew and Alana met online in February 2022. Their first date was March 11th and Andrew surprised Alana with an after dinner trip to the local pool hall where she kicked his butt even though she didn't know how to hold the pool stick correctly.

Andrew planned many special dates for Alana like a helicopter ride at Cape Canaveral, sunset dinners at Frigates, wineries in North Carolina, and slow dances in the kitchen to home cooked meals. Andrew also took Alana back to his hometown in Indiana to meet his family and show her all the places he grew up.

Andrew proposed to Alana while they were on a cruise in March 2023 marking the beginning of their year long engagement.

Since their engagement they bought and renovated their first house and Andrew finished college.

Andrew and Alana enjoy hanging out with their families, cooking together, sharing TikToks with each other, reading, and traveling when they can.

The wedding date was chosen by the couple because the number 29 is a special way to say "I love you" in Andrew's family.
