How We Met

The year was 2000 and both Corrine and Andy were dancing in the middle school talent show. 25 years later, they are getting ready to dance together on their wedding floor! They were friends throughout high school, college, and beyond. They visited each other’s colleges, went on friend trips together, and even attended weddings together. In 2023, Corrine just HAD to watch the movie, The Menu. It was still in theaters, but Corrine remembered that Andy used to (allegedly) illegally download movies. Andy insisted that they Facetime so he could walk her through it. Corrine’s beautiful eyes got the best of Andy through the iPhone screen. They found out they had similar interests in movies. Corrine would ask Andy to see the Covenant, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and Andy would reciprocate with an invitation to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The two really knew it was more than just an interest in movies when they were willing to watch the live action Little Mermaid twice in one evening. Were they really that disappointed in the picture quality at Picture Show in Berlin or were they just having that good of a time eating a surf and turf burger at Celtic Cavern? It may have been a little bit of both as they agreed without hesitation to spend another 2.5 hours together watching a movie they had just seen. They started hanging out so much that Corrine's mom asked her, "Are you and Andy seeing each other??" To which she replied, "No, Mom. We are just friends." They were just friends when they went on a rainy-day vineyard tour on the Fourth of July, and when they dressed up for the all day Barbenheimer experience. It took Andy a little while to work up the courage, but by Summer of 2023, he was going on a Bates family vacation as a *BOYFRIEND*💑! Since then, Corrine and Andy have seen way more musicals than Andy could have ever imagined, mastered the craft of pourover coffee, shared an apartment, became plant parents, traveled the world, and bought a house together. Now they can’t wait to get married and share the moment with all of you!
