Our Story

Miami Mergers

It was a sunny April afternoon at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, when Christine and Andy first met. They were studying for a finance exam at a friend’s house, surrounded by textbooks and notes. Across the room, their eyes locked, and Andy asked Christine where she was from. "Just a boring girl from Cleveland," she joked. Andy laughed, clearly not buying it, and that playful moment sparked an instant connection between them. Later that night, they ran into each other again at their favorite bar, CJ’s, where Andy bought Christine a tequila "tough guy," and the two spent the night talking, playing cards, and sharing bashful glances. It was clear - their connection was immediate, their chemistry undeniable, and it was the start of something special. A few days later, Andy asked Christine on a date at Graeter's Ice Cream. From that spring day forward, they knew they were meant to be. Here we are nearly 5 years later, they are walking down the aisle becoming 3rd generation Miami Mergers!
