It all began in 2007 at Mauldin High School in Greenville, SC, where Andy and Stephanie first crossed paths. Back then, Andy was a close friend of Stephanie’s brother. Life moved on, and they went their separate ways, but fate had other plans. Fast forward to 2022, when Stephanie and Andy unexpectedly reconnected through a mutual friend during a night out in downtown Greenville. That night, they felt an instant connection and bonded over their shared love for music. Little did they know that this evening in April would be the beginning of something extraordinary. Not long after, Stephanie had planned a trip to Hawaii to celebrate her 30th birthday with one of her closest friends. Even while oceans apart, Stephanie and Andy kept in touch as if they’d been together for years. In the midst of their time-zone-spanning conversations, Andy suggested a bold, spur-of-the-moment idea: why not meet in South Florida for a weekend getaway as she made her way back from Hawaii? The spontaneity of it all hooked her! In Florida, they shared their first official date—and first adventure together. And the rest, as they say, is history. Over the next three years, Stephanie and Andy explored the world together, traveling to places as far and wonderful as Italy, Vietnam, Bali and many more. The couple returned to Florida on the anniversary of their first date for the next 3 years, the third year for a surprise engagement! *********************** A NOTE FROM STEPH & ANDY: “We’re so incredibly grateful and excited to share our wedding day with each and every one of you. Thank you for celebrating with us!” – With love, Steph and Andy
