On a hot summer day, in the bustling aisles of Whole Foods, our love story began. Andrew was perusing the fresh produce with Zach, and Katie and her mom were looking for some Kombucha. Little did we know that this grocery store encounter would be the start of a beautiful journey that would lead us down the aisle, hand in hand. As fate would have it, Katie left for Baltimore to get a degree in Nursing before Andrew had the time to work up the nerve to tell her how he felt. But as time went on, the distance only grew our love stronger. With the help of friends and family, we were able to find our voices and finally start dating. Our love story unfolded against a backdrop of thrilling escapades. We embarked on journeys that took us to the peaks of mountains, through the rushing rapids of rivers, and the serene beauty of faraway beaches. Climbing became our favorite past time and introduced us to so many amazing people along the way. From the white sand beaches of Costa Rica to the snow toped mountains of Jackson Hole, each adventure strengthened our bond, creating memories that adorned the chapters of our love story. And now, as the leaves turn golden and the air carries the promise of a new beginning, we find ourselves preparing for the grandest adventure of all – marriage. In the crisp October air, surrounded by the colors of autumn, we will declare our commitment to a lifetime of shared climbs, slopes, rivers, and seas.
