Andy and Cailey first met in 2017. They had both just graduated college and Cailey dropped in on her way home from Lubbock, Texas, unannounced, ready to disrupt his life. After their very first introduction, Cailey told her friends, “I have just met the most hilarious and incredible person… to be friends with.” and Andy thought “She is the funniest person I’ve ever met and she’s so beautiful. I will never tell a soul how I feel, especially not Cailey.”

They became best friends a little too quickly. Frequently going on walks, talking on the phone daily, and spending all of their free time together. They were clearly just friends. Over the next three years, Andy and Cailey took turns subtly pushing the friendship boundaries, but they both knew that if they started dating, there was no going back. Eventually, Andy’s hints became much less subtle. Now, it was Andy showing up at Cailey’s apartment, unannounced, telling Cailey to hurry up and take a chance on their relationship. In October 2020, Cailey and Andy decided to officially start dating and their friends immediately told them they could never break up.

On February 11th, 2024, on a familiar walk along Lake Michigan, Andy got down on one knee and asked Cailey to marry him. Cailey blacked out with pure joy and doesn’t remember a thing. According to Andy, he gave the speech of a lifetime.. eloquent, impassioned, profound, deliberate yet spontaneous. Unfortunately, we only have photos, so I guess we’ll just have to take Andy at his word.

Andy and Cailey cannot wait to dance, sing, eat, drink, and cry happy tears with their favorite people in the world in January 2025!
