Once upon a time there were two college students about to head into their senior year. Alicia was a student at the University of Iowa and Andrew was at DePaul University. Alicia’s roommate was one of Andrew’s best friends, so they’d known about the other for a few years by then.

Come summer of 2020, the two finally met in person and instantly hit it off. Though they lived 90+ miles apart, they made it work with weekend trips and FaceTime. While the pandemic kept people apart, it seemed to bring these two closer. On August 12th, 2020, Andrew made the relationship official by asking Alicia to be his girlfriend. The end of 2020 was filled with many ups and downs, and they proved the strength of their relationship by getting through every obstacle.

Fast forward to 2022, Alicia moved to Rockford to pursue her career in Recreation Therapy. In September of 2023, Andrew popped the question at the top of the bluffs of Devil’s Lake, WI…aka, Alicia’s happy place. After living with the Summers for over a year, Andrew and Alicia bought their own home in October of 2023. Over the past year, they have rescued three fur babies: two cats, Val and Ophelia, and one pup, Boo.

Alicia and Andrew are so excited to celebrate their special day with the people they love most. Here’s to forever!
