We're getting married!

"A hula girl and a penguin walk into a restaurant... " Andy and Mary met at a Halloween party at Mu restaurant in Redlands, CA. Andy was wearing the penguin outfit he had gotten to entertain his patients at the orthodontic residency clinic that day. His costume caught Mary's eye that night at the party. He was also intrigued by her hula costume. Despite the fun time they had chatting and dancing that night, Mary wasn't so sure about Andy so she did what she felt was most logical to her -- she gave him a fake phone number! Mary soon regretted it - she realized she wanted to get to know him better. So, she found him on the Loma Linda University student contact list and texted him! After the shenanigans with the fake phone number Andy required Mary to send him a picture to prove that it was actually her. They went on their first date a few days later and have been inseparable ever since. In their three years together, Andy has completed his orthodontics residency program at Loma Linda University and begun practicing at several local offices. Meanwhile Mary worked on her doctorate of clinical psychology at LLU. Together they have taken part in many hikes, cooking experiments, workouts, concerts and other adventures. Mary recently matched for a pre-doctoral internship in San Antonio, TX with the U.S. Army. She recently commissioned into the Army as a Captain and will move to San Antonio to begin study and work as a psychologist for the Army in late May 2018. Andy will be joining Mary in San Antonio later this year. We are having a last-minute wedding before leaving the West Coast so that our loved ones can join us in a formal start to the next chapter of our lives together. Thank you so much for joining us in this celebration despite the short notice! Mary and Andy
