From a Swipe to Forever

Right time, right person, right swipe

Andrew and I met the modern way by both swiping right on Hinge in August 2023. Funny enough, we later found out our grandparents live just nine houses apart, and our paths had crossed long before we ever realized it. Proof that God's timing is always perfect. After weeks of texting, we finally had our first date at Saucy Brew Works and spent hours talking like we had known each other forever. From that point on, everything just felt easy. About three months later, during a date in Little Italy, Andrew asked me to be his girlfriend. Since then, we've experienced so much life together and have made countless memories along the way. Between moving into our first apartment together, traveling, winery dates, concerts, and so many other adventures, we quickly became best friends and true partners in every part of life. On November 1, 2025, during what I thought was a simple double date at Stonegait Winery, Andrew got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the easiest "yes" of my life and one of the happiest moments we have ever shared together. A few days later, we closed on our first home, and shortly after, brought home our puppy, Chester. We are so excited to continue building our life together and cannot wait to become the Centrackios. ♡
