We're finally here!

We first met during her spring break our senior year of college. Our friend Jackie, who was and still is dating one of my best friends Joe, also went to James Madison University with Krista. I was arriving alone the first night and Jackie had asked one of her friends (Krista) to entertain a friend that was coming in for spring break. She had been busy day drinking all day but she rallied and said sure, lets do this. Four hours of two strangers getting to know each other, a few beers, and maybe a few shots to loosen up, and the rest is history. Or the future depending on how you look at it.

Before Krista and Andrew began dating, Andrew suggested going on a road trip to the location of where she fell in love with her favorite childhood animal, Penguins. Andrew managed to begin dating Krista even though he fell through with taking her to see her favorite animal. 5 years later, and lots of planning- Andrew made his promise and took Krista to Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. Krista was aware of the private encounter with the penguin but was unaware how the hour session would end. While taking pictures with the penguin, the trainer led with "do you know penguin's mate for life?" Krista proudly stated she did know that fact. The trainer then asked if she thought Andrew could be her mate for life. With a confused look on her face as she began to put the pieces together, Andrew got down on one knee and asked the words every girl dreams of hearing. Krista obviously exclaimed "YES!" We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
