Andrea and Chris met in 2007 while they were teaching school at West Gate Elementary. They discovered many commonalities between them, namely, attending music concerts, and enjoyed the beginning of a long-lasting friendship. Neither of them had any inclination as to what was in store for the two of them! They recognized that their friendship was blossoming into something more when they went on what Chris refers to as their very first date for Andrea's birthday (Paint & Sip- The Christmas tree version!) at a local establishment, The Brass Tap in Boynton Beach, Florida. Christmastime promises a season of new beginnings, and thus the emergence of a different kind of relationship between the two that would never break. Anna Maria Island was the setting, and Chris traveled to this magical place with Andrea's family to celebrate the holiday together. The memories made with the family that year have been written across the couple's hearts, and helped lay the firm foundation for the special relationship that was underway. The two of them slowly met more of each other's families and the love that they grew for one another was undeniable. In June of 2016, Andrea and Chris traveled to New York City for a training at Teacher's College that she was attending. While in the city, they visited Diamond Row, which Andrea imagined only one possible outcome --that this obviously--was when Chris would pop the question. But where was the surprise in that?!? On July 23, Chris proposed to Andrea on the last stop of the Wine Walk in New Smyrna Beach with the world's most stunning ring (from the couple's visit to New York City), with the most beautiful words, and hence, she won the world's most wonderful man.
