HOW WE MET

NOVEMBER 2013

Back in November 2013, we met for the first time when a mutual friend invited Rachel to their weekly badminton group, which Andy organized. Andy just knew Rachel as the new girl, and Rachel couldn’t even remember who was who. For months, Rachel would message Andy weekly for attendance, until Andy eventually struck up a conversation. They bonded over our shared interests in games, pets, doughnuts, hobbies and so much more. For three years, they saw each other at weekly badminton and became close friends. It wasn’t until 2017, when life and timing lined up... Andy asked Rachel out for dinner. A few more dinner dates later, it was official - and the rest is history.

HOW HE PROPOSED

March 11th, 2018

After almost a year of dating, Andy convinced Rachel the homebody to take a vacation to Oahu. A proposal wasn’t originally part of the plan, but Andy felt that the timing was right. He bought the ring and snuck it home in preparation for the vacation. Two weeks before the vacation, Rachel suspected a proposal but didn’t think much of it. Proposal or not, they were going to enjoy the vacation! Then, on the fifth day of their vacation, Andy and Rachel were starving after a day of exploring Pearl Harbor, so Andy picked up some take-out while Rachel was tasked with looking for a beach. Little did she know that she would be picking her own proposal location. They ended up at a quaint little place called Tracks Beach Park up the road. They settled on a rock and ate their take-out while they watched the sun go down. After the sun set, Andy knelt down on the sharp rock and popped the question. Of course, Rachel said “Yes!”. Then she told Andy that she had seen the ring when they were going through security at the airport. So much for the element of surprise! But they are so excited to get married, celebrate with their friends and family, and start the next chapter of their lives together!
