The year was 2015. Andrew and Carlie, bright-eyed freshmen at The University of Iowa, were just beginning to navigate the exciting, sometimes bewildering world of college life. One fateful October night, their paths crossed amidst the sticky floors and booming bass of Summit bar. Maybe it was the cheap pitchers, maybe it was destiny, but something sparked between them. A few weeks later, fate intervened again, bringing them together at the infamous Cactus. Surrounded by friends, questionable decor, and the allure of potent margaritas, Andrew and Carlie found themselves drawn to each other. Conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter filled the air, and a shared love for questionable Mexican food (and each other) was discovered. From that moment on, they were inseparable. They navigated the trials and tribulations of college life together – late-night study sessions (and even later-night "study breaks" back at Summit), the stress of exams, tailgates, and the excitement of discovering who they were and who they wanted to be. Nine years, countless adventures, and one adorable fur baby named Missy later, Andrew and Carlie are ready to embark on their greatest adventure yet. From the crowded chaos of Summit to the tequila-soaked romance of Cactus, their love story is proof that sometimes, the best things in life are found in the most unexpected places (and often involve a healthy dose of cheap drinks and questionable decisions). Let the fish tails continue!!
