Our Wedding

Their love story began in November 2019 during the Auburn vs Georgia football game weekend. Alina was in town from Atlanta for the game. With a simple "swipe right" on Bumble, they connected. After a month of talking, Andrew asked Alina out on a date. The first date took place at Fado's Irish Pub in Buckhead (Atlanta) on the weekend of the NFL conference championship games. The bar was packed with limited seating during this weekend, so they were that awkward couple forced to sit on the same side of the table. They sat and talked for 7 hours. Over the next two years, Alina and Andrew would travel back-and-forth between Opelika, Alabama and Atlanta to spend time together. In April 2022 Alina joined Andrew at their now home in Opelika. A few months later, they adopted their sweet dog, Teddy. Andrew proposed to Alina on October 7, 2023 on the beach at Dauphin Island, Alabama. Andrew’s parents, Liane and Bryan, were in town for a short vacation, and Andrew had Alina’s parents, Jack and Laura, on standby ready to surprise Alina back at the house. Andrew and Alina are so excited for you all to join them on this exciting next chapter of their lives!

Cypress Gardens is a 175-acre swamp garden. The gardens were originally a freshwater reserve for the nearby rice plantation, Dean Hall. The gardens were created by Benjamin Rufus Kitteredge back in 1909 and became open to the public in 1932. The best part is the swamp boat tour. Paddle along a marked trail for a 45-minute tour of the swamp seeing lily pads, tall cypress trees and tupelo trees that are mirrored in the dark, black water of the swamp. These amazing gardens were used in several movies, including scenes from The Notebook, Cold Mountain and The Patriot.&nbsp;
