Although Andrew likes to make up lots of funny stories about how we met, the truth is we met while working at the same marketing agency in 2019. We both played in our company's soccer league and we had just started working on the same account. After one of our games, we went to a bar for drinks with the team, talked all night, and the rest is history as they say.
Our first date was to an archery place in Brooklyn (Katie won). We both saved our targets and Andrew had our first apartment drawn on his for Valentine's Day last year.
It was pretty easy to tell from early on that we would have a lot of fun together. In our first few months of dating, we went hiking, apple picking, snowboarding, ice-skating, to museums, and last minute concerts.
Our first vacation was after lockdown in 2020. Katie had been staying with her family in Florida so we both drove to Charleston for a long weekend. Shortly after, we went to North Carolina where we hiked, rock climbed, went white water rafting, and drank lots and lots of craft beer.
Our first international trip was to Iceland. Over 9 days, we drove in a campervan around the entire ring road. This was one of our favorite trips of all time, and we highly recommend Iceland to anyone interested!
During the summer of 2022, we road tripped in Andrew's Jeep from Utah to New Jersey where we skydived Moab, sand boarded The Great Sand Dunes, saw Tash Sultana at Red Rocks, watched the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in CO, and visited 7 national parks.
After 4 years of dating, Andrew proposed on our first day in Sorrento during sunset on the Amalfi Coast in May of 2023. We celebrated the rest of the trip with lots of pasta and wine!
We’ve made amazing memories so far, but we know the best is yet to come. We can’t wait to celebrate the start of our next chapter with all of our friends and family. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures!
