We started dating in high school when we were both in marching band. We lived in different cities (Alissa, River Falls and Andre, Minneapolis) while Alissa went to college at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and Andre worked in the Twin Cities. Once Alissa graduated, we moved in together with some roommates in 2021. We finally got our own house in 2023 and about a year later, we got engaged! We love going for walks, eating good food, hanging out with our cats, and more recently going for long bike rides together. We work to be the best version of ourselves for each other. We can't wait to celebrate our love with our family and friends!
