Andrew played the French horn, and Nicole played the clarinet at Green Hope High. Somewhere along the way, a friendship grew between us. Neither of us expected the other was interested in dating, but Nicole realized one day that she wanted Andrew to be more than just her friend. Luckily, he agreed and officially asked her to be his girlfriend on March 10, 2014! Their relationship blossomed through the years with many significant events celebrated together: prom, dance recitals, birthdays, graduations, acceptances to graduate school programs, and many more. On May 11, 2018, after four years of dating, Andrew asked Nicole to marry him, and of course she said yes! Together we have faced many challenges (including a cross-continental relationship during graduate school), and through it all, our love and partnership have grown deeper and stronger. We cannot wait to finally celebrate our union as husband and wife - the marriage of two best friends!
