We’re getting married!

Will and Andrea made each other’s acquaintance in the summer of 2018 but had only spoken in passing. They reconnected during Andrea’s trip to Denver the following Christmas. Heeding the sound advice of his lawyer, Will asked Andrea out to dinner the day after Christmas. After enjoying a delicious Italian meal, Andrea excitedly sharing (probably in too great of detail) her most recent surgical rotation, and playing a lively game of ping pong with Will’s buddies, both parties were still not quite sure if this was indeed a date. But the conversation didn’t end until after 2:00 am and the two became practically inseparable for the remaining week Andrea spent in Denver before returning home to Seattle. Four weeks later, Will made the journey to Seattle for a week of seafood and coastal adventures. On the last day of Will’s trip, standing on a beach covered in sand dollars at sunset, they both knew that this was the beginning of something special. The two have spent the past 3+ years adventuring in the mountains of Colorado and Washington, fishing in the waters of the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, discovering their shared interest in spotting all the critters and creating a cozy home on the Olympic Peninsula. Last summer, on Andrea’s birthday, they took a short, late-night walk from their home to the edge of Hood Canal and Will proposed in the moonlight. They are very excited and thankful to celebrate their marriage with their closest family and friends in the wild and rugged San Juan Mountains of Colorado.
