Maria and Andrew were introduced while attending church one morning in Fall 2018. Throughout the next few months, they continued to get to know each other whenever they saw each other in passing. Five months later (February 2019), there was an exchange of phone numbers.
The same day there was a phone number exchange would also become the day of the first date. ...Bowling, beer & pizza. (Be still my heart.)
Christmas morning, 2019. The last unopened gift was for Maria. It was a photo frame with a collection of memories from the past year, all except for the one photo in the top right corner. That one was a picture of a ring set. "What is this one?" Maria asked. Andrew stated, "It's a two part-er, love..." followed by dropping to one knee and the rest is history. <3
