Our Wedding

On the surface, Andrew and Johanna’s relationship started as many do, a casual meeting at a cousin’s wedding, followed by lunches and dinners and movies and dates.&nbsp;However, below the surface, it was almost as if the universe had conspired to bring these two together through a series of chance encounters stretching back years and decades.&nbsp;Like when a cabal of well-meaning aunts and cousins conspired for the two single people to meet at a covid delayed wedding reception. &nbsp;Or before that, when Johanna befriended Andrew’s cousin Brooke shortly after Johanna started graduate school at Wayne State University.&nbsp;Or before that, when Johanna’s job paired her with Brooke’s sister Jenny at Haslett schools.&nbsp;Or even before that, when her mom, Bridget McClorey, met his aunt, Patti McKinnon, at Bishop Gallagher High School 45 years ago. Despite the weight of all that coincidence, their relationship started slow, each of them curious yet unsure.&nbsp;But he survived the excitement of meeting the Sherry’s for the first time at Johanna’s sister Maria’s wedding, and she survived a week trudging across Ireland with the Hoffmans.&nbsp;And soon it was undeniable that fate had meant for them to be together.&nbsp; With each walk along the Clinton River, with each pilgrimage to Spartan Stadium, with each disappointing Red Wings loss, and with each Honey Tree salad consumed, their love blossomed.&nbsp;Finally in March 2024, he did what he’d wanted to do since the day they’d danced at her sister’s wedding, and asked her to marry him.&nbsp;In her apartment on a Sunday afternoon, as her famous dinner bubbled away in the InstantPot, she said yes; fulfilling the promise of 45 years of chance and fate, and making him the happiest man to ever live. They can’t wait to face the next 45 years together as man and wife, and to share it with all those they love and cherish. -Andrew and Johanna&nbsp;
