We met in Missouri, where Candice went to college and Andrew attended medical school at Saint Louis University. Although we had been at the same school for 3 years together and had many mutual friends, we did not cross paths until 2015, when we had an outing with our friends. At first, we were both hesitant to start our relationship, given our unknown futures, as Andrew was matching into residency and Candice was applying to medical school. We spent time together and quickly realized we were meant to be. This started a 4 year journey of long distance: 2015-2016: Andrew in Saint Louis, Candice in SoCal 2016-2017: Andrew in Santa Barbara, Candice in Pomona 2017-2021: Andrew in Baltimore Maryland, Candice in SoCal Despite the distance, our relationship continued to grow and on July 27, 2019 Andrew proposed to Candice. In June 2021, Andrew will complete his residency in Baltimore, and move home to SoCal to finally end over 5 years of long distance.
