Our love story started in a now conventional way, Tinder, a dating app. Though it may not be as romantic or story book like as others, the way in which we captured each others hearts stem from true love and understanding. We often joke about how silly yet fateful it is that we both swiped right at the same time, looking for something more than others use Tinder for. Pandemic-era boredom turning into something so much deeper! An algorithm determined by fate. Our first date was mini golf. Charlotte chose a location that was close to her Dad's office (just incase he was a catfish or murderer, naturally) and from the moment that we met we knew we were going to be each other's forever. Andrew has the gentlest and kindest demeanor that you can ever experience from a person, he is and was soft spoken, the best listener, and patient. Charlotte is sort of the opposite: loud, outgoing, and strongly opinionated. We knew just by talking to each other we would be each other's rock. We compliment each other's strengths and uplift each other's weaknesses. Andrew was very serious about dating Charlotte, he did everything right and properly, taking Charlotte to nice restaurants, introducing her to his parents, and planning romantic ways of getting to know the true Charlotte. Charlotte was always along for the ride. She pushed Andrew outside of his comfort zone and really allowed the relationship to move forward. We both played our parts very early on because we were passionate about each other from the very beginning! When it came time to go to East Lansing and attending our first "real college semester," Andrew and Charlotte really stated to thrive as a couple. We both had competitive and challenging majors: Computer Science and Human Biology. These majors required our full attention and drive, but we never let this get in the way of our growing relationship. Instead, we studied together, pushed each other to succeed academically and even became a little competitive with our GPA's. Experiencing college together is where we truly blossomed. We became close with each other's friends, learned each and every corner of campus together, and celebrated every little win academically. Since graduating we have been each other's biggest cheerleaders, we love each other, and we love to see our partner succeed.
