Andrea and Trevor met in the fall of 2016 through mutual friends and Greek life at SIUe. By December, they were officially a couple. Those first years were filled with baseball games, concerts, and exciting nights out with friends. In October 2018, life pulled them in different directions — Andrea was still in school studying to become a speech therapist and Trevor was already graduated and working full-time. With heavy hearts and a few regrets, they went their separate ways.

Fast forward to October 2022, when fate brought them back together at an SIUe alumni tailgate of all places. Their “first date...again” was on November 3rd, 2022 at a St. Louis Blues game. A stranger sitting next to them learned their whole breakup-and-reunion story from Trevor (despite Andrea’s attempt to be vague). Before leaving the game, he told them, “Mark my words, you two are getting married.” He was right. From that night forward, their love felt easy, genuine, and deeply meant to be. In May 2023, Andrea accepted a new job and moved into Trevor’s home in Edwardsville — the very town where their love story first began.

By the summer of 2024, wedding season was all around them as they celebrated the love of some of their closest friends. Over Labor Day weekend that year, they traveled to Granby, Colorado, to celebrate Andrea’s best friend Tessa’s birthday… or so Andrea thought. In reality, Trevor had been secretly planning the perfect proposal for months with the help of Tessa and their friend, Taleigh.

They convinced Andrea they were all going to a fancy dinner at Devil’s Thumb Ranch, and her friends even got ready with her. But when it was time to leave, Andrea and Trevor drove separately because, supposedly, someone had left their phone behind. In truth, Trevor had hired a photographer and was leading Andrea to a beautiful ranch framed by breathtaking mountains. As the sun set that day, Trevor got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Today, their love is a blend of laughter, loyalty, and unwavering support. Andrea keeps Trevor young with her bubbly personality and humor, while Trevor grounds Andrea with his thoughtfulness and steady heart. They celebrate life’s joys together and lift each other through challenges, always finding a reason to smile. Now, they can’t wait to begin their greatest adventure yet — a lifetime side by side.
