Analise and Tripp met in November of 2021 at Craft Collective in the Van Aken District for beers, and figured that to be a great place to meet, as they are both craft beer fans. It was a relatively short first date, and Analise likes to joke that Tripp purposely scheduled dinner plans with some of his friends later that evening, in case the date didn't work out. It did and Analise texted him later that evening letting him know how much she had enjoyed their first date and was looking forward to the next one! Tripp immediately responded and made plans for them to meet again before Thanksgiving for sushi. The weekend following Thanksgiving, they met for coffee and then again for a date at the Botanical Gardens followed by a Browns game. After that time together, they knew that their love story was in the making. Through their first year together they discovered their shared interests, and enlightened each other to their individual loves of music, art, estate sales, gardening, cooking, all the sports (especially golf), TV shows, and the usefulness of having internet (take a guess as to who was living without home internet when they met)! They moved in together a year later in September 2022, and on July 19th, 2023, Tripp asked Analise to marry him in a romantic proposal at home, on her birthday. Analise and Tripp have loved being engaged and planning a wedding. They cannot wait to start this next chapter of their lives together and continue making unforgettable memories!
