Neither of us were good with social meetings, so both had the idea of online dating. I only joined because my bestie, Suzi—now my maid of honor—was texting sweet things to her boyfriend, and I thought, “I miss that feeling.” And that night I joined Match.com, two weeks later I answered a message from Andrew, and only five weeks later we met in person at V-Stock. Suzi tagged along on our first date (being that sneaky, ninja-like lookout to make sure all went safe and well), and sparks seemed to fly without hesitation. We had talked on the phone for weeks, but our first meeting was perfect, dreamlike, and just what we both were looking for.

We met March 26th, 2016, moved in together in 2017, and then decided to tie the knot at the end of October. I wanted a fall wedding, and it was a beautiful event with wonderful company last year. There were many who could not attend, however, so we planned a ceremony and reception on our one year anniversary to have the opportunity to celebrate this time with both of our families. Andrew, Ian, and I are excited to share this moment with all of you!
