It all truly started when Andrew and I were both regularly attending our Youth Group on Wednesday nights at First Evangelical Church. I had known who Andrew was for awhile but had never talked to him or hung out because we were in two completely different friend groups. Each summer, our high school youth group would create a week-long missions trip in Memphis and somehow each summer Andrew and I ended up serving at the same ministry. As we continued to grow older we eventually both led teams of middle and high schoolers to serve at this same ministry. So, each summer I started to get to know Andrew Pierce a little more and more. Finally, my junior year and his sophomore year we became closer friends and secretly grew to have a crush on one another. I texted Andrew one night after Youth Group saying, "How's life Andrew?" And the rest is history. After spending six years dating and four of those years long distance Andrew and I are overwhelmed and beyond joyful that God has blessed us with one another for so long and now for forever. June nineteenth will be one of the happiest days of our lives. We are so unbelievably thankful for God, our families, and our friends who have supported and loved us both. We cannot wait to be married!
