Megan and Andrew met in the Summer of 2023. Andrew caught Megan’s attention over a romantic gesture of trash talking the Carolina Hurricanes over a dating app. While dismissive at first, the two decided to meet in person shortly after the conversation started that day, operating only with a few message exchanges and mainly impulse.

Over the first date shortly after the butterflies went away and after multiple attempts for Andrew to adjust to Megan’s quiet tone, the two came to notice they had much more in common. They both share an adventurous nature, excitement to explore new breweries around Raleigh, love for dogs, being outdoors, and Slovakian food.

After only two dates, Megan and Andrew couldn’t spend time away from each other. They decided to plan a third date to see a country artist, Hardy- an artist they both mildly enjoyed but an event that entertained a long weekend get-away to see how the couple could spend extended time together. The concert happened to be the location of West Virginia’s state fair and consisted of a popup stage in the middle of a horse racing track. It was a perfect setting to see how the couple operated under stress. Megan and Andrew were inseparable from this moment. After this long weekend, the two knew they were meant for each other.

Megan and Andrew decided to move in together after only a couple months of knowing each other and make Raleigh their home together. Andrew proposed to Megan in Linville Gorge after Megan finally decided to go camping with him in December 2024. The two are excited to be surrounded by such great family and friends and can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future.
