It was March 2020, the first COVID-19 lockdown had just begun, and we were all forced to adapt to new life as we knew it - mostly between the four walls of our homes.

For Andrew and Carly, a scary and uncertain situation turned into something better. About 3 days into the lockdown, Andrew and his roommate decided to knock on the apartment door across the hall - they knew two girls about their age lived there and they were desperate for some human interaction.

On the other side of that neighboring door, Carly eagerly answered and welcomed Andrew and his roommate in, because although those who know Carly know how little she enjoys meeting new people - she was excited to get to know the cute guy across the hall.

Throughout those first few months, there were many lunch and coffee breaks together, movies and new TV shows, picnics in the courtyard of their apartment building, and long Zoom calls meeting each others' friends and family. Andrew and Carly quickly became inseparable. They eventually had their first real date at one of their favorite neighborhood beer gardens in DC when outdoor dining finally re-opened that summer.

Carly and Andrew now live together in NoMa in Washington, DC and are so excited to celebrate their wedding with friends and family!
