-Our love story begins at a time when looking for love was the last thing on our minds. And so it goes...

Carley had freshly moved back to Saint Louis after 2 long years of travel nursing in Washington DC. She accepted a fantastic position at Barnes Jewish Hospital and her life was steadily shifting, aligning, and falling into place.

Meanwhile, Andrew was spending his days with his friends and family that he loves so dearly. He was riding his bike, climbing at the gym, and passionately putting his heart into his growing life coaching practice.

One day on her lunch break, Carley received a friend suggestion on her socials, "Andrew Langhorst". Undoubtedly noting his great smile, what's more, Carley was steeply impressed with the positive work Andrew was doing in the community. She sent him a friend request and he accepted!

For several months, busy in their own lives, their engagement was minimal. Still strangers they were, until one day... Carley had an intuitive hit, she told her coworker,"I think I am going to meet this man, and soon". She could see herself serendipitously running into Andrew at a local event or perhaps he would even reach out to her personally.

Meanwhile, Andrew browsed Carley's photos and adored her smile and bright personality shining through. He thought, "there could really be something here".

Two days later, to her sweet, sweet surprise, Andrew Langhorst invited Carley Chrisouli out on a date! Carley sensed this was the beginning of an important and meaningful connection.

They met and talked for hours upon hours, sharing about their childhoods, past loves, beliefs, goals, dreams, passions, quirks, and what they are hoping to find in a partner. It was Golden alignment.

Many dates spent hiking beautiful trails, swimming in rivers, laughing down the sidewalks of Francis Park, sharing their first kiss, exploring art galleries, book stores, and cooking their favorite (Greek) meals, Andrew and Carley knew love was in the air.

Three glorious months later... it was time for Andrew to meet a very important person - Ophelia! On a warm summer afternoon, Ophelia was finishing up Japanese camp, so of course they met at Sushi Station!

The adventures continued for these three, they bonded riding bikes, climbing trees, camping, creating art, and watching old movies.

Andrew adored Ophey, and Ophey quickly became fond of Andrew. She thought Andrew was very adventurous and felt he truly cared about her feelings.

As the months and years have gone by, the relationship among Andrew, Carley, and Ophelia evolved into a strong system of loving support. They moved into a big beautiful home together, right next to Grant's Farm.

On April 8th 2024, under the solar eclipse in the sky, Andrew and Carley joyously committed to their enduring love.

Through rain and shine, this commitment has put Andrew and Carley on the fast track to deep, personal healing. Learning from great teachers how to foster healthy interdependence, they feel safe to be their rawest, most vulnerable selves. From each other, they have learned how to communicate from the heart and how to tap into their highest expression.

-Our story goes to show that you cannot miss what is meant for you. Great news, you can't mess it up! The key is to be willing to love yourself to your core and remain open to receiving the gift of love from the universe. At a time when no one was looking for love, love found Carley and Andrew. Because what is meant for us is a part of us. Part of our calling, our life, our reason for being here. Part of the mystical, untouchable, unfathomable unknown upon which we will one day reflect back and say, "of course, I knew all along".

We are overjoyed to celebrate our wedding day, as we make our family official, growing with you, our loved ones. You are each a star in our sky!

With Love & Light,

Carley and Andrew
