Andrew and Alyssa met randomly through a group of friends at the movies on April 1st 2023. Little did they know that in a few short weeks they would soon become friends and slowly fall in love. As they grew together, Andrew began to secretly plan how he would ask the love of his life to marry him. With the help of friends and Pinterest boards Andrew picked out a beautiful emerald ring and ventured to Oregon and Colorado to meet Alyssa's parents and grandmother and make it through the final test of volunteering for Joni and Friends and Special Needs Ministry which Andrew is now a life long advocate for. After passing the final test the couple went on a hike to Silver Falls where after venturing to the very bottom of the trail Andrew proposed and Alyssa said yes.
