Andrew and Anna’s story began at Hope College, where they sparked a friendship that quietly grew roots in the background of their massive 20+ person friend group. For a year, they walked side by side as friends- sharing in laughter, long talks, and the early signs of something more to come. One summer, their feelings deepened, and their friendship turned into love. Since then, their days have been filled with simple joys: long walks, spirited cribbage games, cozy craft nights, and cooking together in the kitchen. Through more than three years of on-and-off long distance, they have learned patience, commitment, and the sweetness of choosing each other again and again. Now, they step into a season they’ve long dreamed of- finally sharing a home and beginning their life together. May the Lord richly bless their marriage and all the years to come.
