Andrea and Everth went to the same high school but never met—he was into football and wrestling; she was involved in school clubs. Years later, they crossed paths for the first time at one of their early jobs and quickly became friends. (Funny enough, Everth was interested in getting to know Andrea more but too nervous to make the first move!) Five years later, during the pandemic when everyone was finding ways to get outside, their paths crossed again, and they started talking. The conversation kept going, and it wasn’t long before they went on their first date.
From the very beginning, something just felt right. Andrea and Everth moved quickly into their relationship—not out of impulse, but because the connection was effortless. They spent most days of the week together and talked for hours on end, never running out of things to say. Andrea was drawn to Everth’s humor and the sense of ease she felt with him—steady, genuine, and reassuring. Everth was drawn to Andrea’s sweet nature and endearing quirks. It didn’t take long before they were introducing each other to their families and saying, “I love you” (Everth said it first, for the record).
For Andrea’s 27th birthday, she and Everth spent the day enjoying each other’s company. By evening, Andrea was ready to call it a night and suggested skipping the dinner plans for something easy—like In-N-Out. Everth, unusually committed to the dinner reservation, kept things moving without giving anything away. What Andrea didn’t know was that he had a surprise waiting. After stepping away from the table, she returned to find a ring placed next to her meal—and Everth looking at her with a look that said everything. In that quiet, perfect moment, he asked her to marry him.
