This story could truly take up pages upon pages, but we'll keep it short and sweet for y'all.

Once upon a time, it was the Spring of 2021. For those of you who know us, we spend a lot of time at the gym. Naturally, we met at Cal Poly's gym. Since this was during Covid times, only about 20 people were allowed into the gym every hour and a half. In order to get a spot, we had to wake up at 6 am and go through the app to reserve a spot. We both would always go at 7:30 am. Let me just say - It was definitely not love at first site. We both were focused with our heads down and masks on, and weights in hand. As the days went on and we kept seeing each other every morning, we eventually started having short conversations.

Angela would go and tell her friends about this guy who she called "gym Andrew" since she didn't know his last name lol. About a month later, we saw each other at the Newman Center on campus.

Summer was coming up and Angela was heading to Austin with her family that summer. We kept in touch, but shortly after we lost contact.

Fast forward to September '21. Even though we had lost contact with each other, we both still went to the gym and church, and therefore saw each other in passing all the time. We even had super similar schedules and Andrew lived right next door to one of Angela's good friends. We couldn't avoid each other. God was really working overtime to get us together lol. Finally, Andrew asked Angela to lunch and since then we've never stopped hanging out. We became best friends in 0.2 seconds.

We've experienced many life milestones together and we cannot wait to do life together forever. From graduating college, to doing long distance for seven months, to moving to Plano and Richardson (Dallas, for those who don't know Dallas geography:)), we've been each other's constant for the past three years.

On November 16, 2024, Andrew planned the most perfect day that culminated in him getting down on one knee and asking Angela to marry him. Of course, she said yes!

Thank you for all of your prayers for our engagement and marriage! We truly appreciate you all and cannot wait to celebrate with you!

Much love,

Andrew & Angela
