Andria started working at Starbucks on the weekend during her undergrad, which just so happened to be the Starbucks that Dane frequented. After a couple weeks of back and forth glances, and nervous hellos and quick goodbyes. Dane finally decided it was time to make a move! After Andria wrote down her number on his chai tea latte, that is when the adventure began!
During a hard point of there masters in nursing, Dane and Andria decided to go ring shopping. After a couple weeks of searching, they found the perfect ring. Dane then convinced Andria that a proposal wouldn't happen until they we were done with school, she was throughly convinced and slightly bummed. However, Dane just had that gut feeling that is was the perfect time and wanted to plan a memorable surprise. After some conversation with close friends, he decided to propose on there favorite hiking spot, Radnor Lake, in Nashville. With some strategic planning, their good friends Zac and Sophia Forbes joined in on the fun. Once they reached the half way point of the hike, Sophia casually brought out her camera to snap some pictures of her little girls while Dane pretended to tie his shoe. Andria took this time to look for the Blue Herons that she loves and was unaware Dane was on one knee with a small box in his hand. After calling Andria's name a few times, she finally turned around and saw the little, big surprise.
