Andrew & I met 12 years ago, 7th grade year in the fall of 2013; two little twelve year olds getting settled in our science class next to each other. We had at least one class together since that day, from 7th all the way to Senior year. Friends who picked on each other relentlessly, but deep down were closer than any other.

After graduation we lost touch and later reconnected in 2021. Andrew found me on a dating app and texted me making fun of the fact that I liked Diet Coke and later went on countless "hangouts" as Andrew would say. We went through many stages of feeling awkward trying to date but also trying to hold on to the friendship we once had.

Once we got comfortable and truly knew that there was no other place either one of us would want to be than with each other, we were inseparable. We went on many trips from six flags every weekend, to the river with friends and family. So many concerts, starting at our first one where Andrew surprised me to a Morgan Wallen concert for my 20th birthday. So many date nights, movie nights, and game nights. We moved in together eventually and life got ten times better. We spent so many holidays with each side of our family's, attended graduations, birthday celebrations and welcomed our new puppy and niece this past year.

Before the year was up, Andrew took the next step and proposed during our Christmas photos, truly the most magical way to end our year. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with all of those we love beside us, we hope you love our story as much as we do!!!
