Andrew and Ariana met their freshman year of college at MSU in Tim and Denali's bible study. Ariana asked for Andrew's number first, not with the intention of what you'd think. Andrew would walk Ariana home from study and talk her ear off about skiing (and ski jackets). He quickly fell head over heels for her, and finally second semester he asked her to go skiing (not on a date though). After skiing, Andrew asked Ariana to go on a date and she replied with "Sure." Then, quickly followed up with "Yes, yes I do!" On their first date, they went to Mackenzie River Pizza, where Andrew introduced Ariana to BBQ Chicken Pizza and huckleberry lemonade. They went back to Ariana's dorm room where Melania soon called to hear about the date (thinking Ariana was alone). Without intending to, Ariana went to go to the bathroom and left Andrew on the phone with Melania (and as most know, you must get Melania's seal of approval to date her sister). Later, Melania and Ariana talked once Andrew left, where Melania shared that Andrew (so far) had her approval. After a couple weeks of going on dates, their friends took a ski trip to Grand Targhee, where Andrew asked Ariana to be his girlfriend - February 24th to be exact. They continued to ski, spend time outdoors, have intentional conversations, and fall more in love with one another!
