Andrea and William’s story began the modern way — on Hinge. Andrea first came across William’s profile and immediately noticed photos of his dogs, Sasha and Bear. Being the dog lover she is, she couldn’t resist sending the first message. After talking on the app for a couple of days and eventually exchanging phone numbers, William finally asked Andrea out on their first date. On December 19, 2023, they met at Woodson's Local Tap + Kitchen for dinner. Although technically a dinner date, neither of them ate much — they spent the entire evening talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. Their connection was instant, and by the following week they were already planning date number two. They went to Cinemark at Market Street to watch the new Hunger Games movie, followed by drinks at Kirby's Icehouse and dinner at Goose's Acre Bistro & Irish Pub. By the end of the night, they shared their first kiss. From that very first date on, they’ve been inseparable ever since.
