Andrew and Ashlyn met their first week of college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2015 and began dating soon after. They stayed together throughout college, enjoying teriyaki chicken at the Thursday Farmers' Market, cruising Pismo Beach, and hosting "Family Game Nights" with friends. They continued dating long-distance as Andrew studied at Sacramento State for his Masters in Psychology and Ashlyn finished her English degree. Ashlyn would soon join him in Sacramento, though, as she obtained her teaching credential and masters. She then began teaching elementary school. Andrew finally proposed in July of 2023 during a family lunch in the home they share in Elk Grove. They look forward to the many years ahead of backyard cookouts, snuggles with their kitties (Fuzzy & Wattson), and traveling to new places.
