Our Wedding

THE BEGINNING

Andrea and Andrew have been friends since high school. Little did they know that this friendship would blossom into something extraordinary. It wasn't until May of 2021 when something extraordinary happened – their usual hangout with friends turned into an intimate gathering of just the two of them. Sparks flew, hearts soared, and their friendship bloomed into the cutest love story ever! This is the sweet and personal tale of Andrea and Andrew – a story of a love that started as friendship, but bloomed into the most beautiful of love stories, an epic tale of hearts entwined forever.

FAMILY

Meet our wonderful family, Andrea and Andrew, along with our two adorable furbabies, Saetbyeol and Toby. Our hearts are woven together by a love that knows no bounds. We cherish every moment we spend together, embarking on thrilling adventures to explore the world. Traveling is not just a hobby for us; with each new place we visit, we create memories that will forever be etched in our hearts. The sweetest part of it all is the love we have for our furbabies. They are not just pets; they are cherished members of our family.

CAMPING

Andrea and Andrew discovered their shared love for camping, and their hearts lit up like a campfire. Their very first adventure as lovebirds took them to Kings Canyon. From that moment on, they were hooked! Over 10 national forests became their playgrounds, as they hiked hand in hand, toasted marshmallows, and cooked amazing camp meals. Each trip was a new chapter in their camping love story. It was as if Mother Nature herself approved of their love, blessing every journey with breathtaking views and unforgettable memories. So, with love as their compass and the wilderness as their playground, Andrea and Andrew's cute camping tale continues to unfold, as they explore the great outdoors and each other's hearts, making every moment count in their love-filled adventure.

TRAVELING

Andrea and Andrew are a match made in paradise, and nothing brings them more joy than embarking on tropical island adventures together. In every tropical destination they visit, Andrea and Andrew immerse themselves in the local culture, especially when it comes to food and drinks. They love sipping on colorful cocktails that taste like pure vacation. Their travel adventures have become an inseparable part of their love story, and they look forward to each new journey with hearts filled with excitement and anticipation.

GOLF

Once upon a tee, Andrew introduced Andrea to golf, and they became an adorable golfing duo! No matter where their journey takes them – whether to a new state or a far-off country – they make it a playful quest to visit as many golf courses as possible. With their matching golf gear and contagious laughter, they tee off to explore the world, one golf course at a time.

FOOD

Among their many passions, their love for food shines the brightest, and it's Andrew who takes the cake when it comes to his culinary affection. His love for food is on another level, and it's not just about eating - it's a full-blown food affair! At home, Andrew becomes a master chef! He'll whip up culinary experiments that sometimes end up being the most interesting flavor combinations you've ever seen. But hey, Andrea is always willing to play along and be the official taste-tester.

Our Story

Civil Wedding

THE PROPOSAL

Andrea eagerly waited for Andrew to pop the question. Finally, in the enchanting Philippines, he surprised her with a proposal. As they were climbing up a cliff to a lake, Andrew and Andrea paused for a picture-perfect moment. "Pose like the Titanic!" Andrew giggled. With a puzzled look, Andrea played along. As she turned to see Andrew, there he was, on one knee, asking the biggest question of all. She said yes, and their love story became sweeter than the ripest Philippine mango.
