Andrew and Kennedy's story began all the way back when they both attended Archer Glen Elementary in Sherwood, Oregon. In first grade Kennedy actually had Andrew’s mom, Tara, as her teacher! It wasn’t till the next year, in 2003, that they “first met” when they were both placed in Mrs. Birch’s second grade class. Fast forward to the 8th grade, Andrew and Kennedy reconnected at Archer Glen while they were attending the annual “Market Place and Fair,” and it was awkward n' interested at first sight! After the fair, Andrew got Kennedy’s Gmail from a mutual friend, since she didn’t have a phone at the time, and they continued to talk via email. After a few months of e-chatting, hanging out with their group of friends, and occasionally holding hands, Andrew officially asked Kennedy to be his girlfriend on June 17th, 2010. Which was promptly followed up by their first kiss! Their relationship continued strong throughout high school, four years at Oregon State University, and another two years while Kennedy obtained her Certificate in Drug and Alcohol Counseling and Andrew got his Associates in Paramedicine. By this time, it had been 10 years since their love story began and they couldn't imagine a future without each other. Just one year later on March 2nd, 2021 Andrew finally popped the question, and on June 17th, 2022, keeping their original anniversary date, we will collectively celebrate their 12 years together and their matrimony!
