Meeting in 2008 at St John's University, Andrae and Ju Dee immediately sparked a genuine friendship. The bond they developed was filled with laughter, admiration, and support for one another. They remained extremely close throughout undergrad.

After graduating, Andrae and Ju Dee began to branch out onto their own paths in life while remaining connected as friends, always keeping the love and respect that they developed for each other many years ago. They were blessed to share so many life experiences together, this included them becoming parents within 2 weeks of one another! Both girls!

In April of 2021 they found something much deeper than the friendship that they had built for so long. There was a connection that was simply undeniable; a force so powerful that it pulled them closer than they had ever been. They both decided to give in to spiritual connection that had manifested into something more.

In September of 2022, on a cruise ship in front of the sunrise, Andrae would ask Ju Dee to spend forever with him and she would answer...Absolutely Yes!
