Andrew and Katie met through mutual residency friends during a camping weekend in New York during the summer of 2019. Shortly after that—and fittingly for third year residents—they shared Mitchell's ice cream for their first date in the hospital lobby while both on overnight call, Andrew for internal medicine, and Katie for Ob/Gyn. The COVID pandemic followed soon after, and served to strengthen a growing connection as they pulled through long shifts during uncertain times in the hospital, leaning on each other for support. As the next few years passed, they enjoyed spending time exploring the outdoors together, sampling new restaurants, watching good (and bad) TV shows, and traveling to see family and friends. Katie even adopted a tolerance (and fanhood!) for Andrew's beloved Iowa Hawkeyes. Just after New Years Day 2023, Andrew surprised Katie in the hospital lobby where they shared their first date, and took her to a favorite spot at the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve, where he proposed. Andrew and Katie are so excited to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by their loved ones.
