Colleen and Andrew first connected through OkCupid, the online dating service. Although Colleen was the one to initiate their first conversation, it was Andrew that asked her out for dinner and drinks at his place for their first date. Andrew showed off his cooking skills, preparing burgers, fries, and margaritas. Colleen was very impressed! Their connection was electric and they spent the rest of the night talking and really getting to know each other. Their chemistry was so instantaneous that they’ve been inseparable ever since. Andrew is Colleen’s rock and biggest supporter. Even through troubled times due to a loss of employment, Andrew has been by her side. Colleen fell in love with Andrew’s thoughtfulness and consideration for others. Andrew also immediately understood Colleen’s comedic timing and sense of humor, allowing her to be her entire self with him. From the moment that they met, Andrew could tell that Colleen was more mature than most woman he had dated. He was inspired by her work ethic and ambition, enthralled by their intelligent conversations, and cherished her compassion for others. He knew right away that she was bringing something amazing and special into his life. Colleen and Andrew are self proclaimed home bodies. Their favorite date night includes staying in, cooking together, and snuggling on the couch to watch movies. They also love to travel. During this time of year they enjoy going to corn mazes and visiting Virginia for the Bull Run Festival of Lights. On August 30th, Colleen awoke to what she thought would be a normal day and started getting ready for work. Noticing that Andrew was acting a little odd, she decided to ignore it and continued with her morning routine. But Andrew continued hovering around her, so Colleen finally stopped and asked if he was okay, Andrew dropped down to one knee and asked Colleen to marry him. She instantly said “Of course, YES!”. Colleen was totally surprised!
