Ciriacksly in love

Andrew and Alaina met at a get together with friends. Drew’s first words to Alaina were, “you’re not that bad looking”. Alaina still uses that against him to this day.

Alaina and Drew’s first date was at the Mall of America where they went out to eat and rode rides at the theme park there. Alaina is deathly afraid of heights and falling but Drew convinced her to go on the "big” roller coaster. That was the first and last time for that.

The proposal happened on 07/03/2025. Alaina had been living in Danbury, WI with her parents to finish her clinical rotation at Spooner Hospital. Drew was up visiting her for the holiday weekend. During a family walk, Drew guided Alaina into the woods where there was a blanket, rose petals, and lights on the trees. That is where he popped the question. It was in the same spot where weeks prior, Alaina had spotted a heart shape in one of the trees. That tree’s heart now has A + D carved into it.
