Andy and Haylee originally met through work - where they were both athletic trainers in Florence, SC. Months later they ran into each other while out with their respective friend groups at Seminar Brewing. Haylee and Andy struck up conversation while playing cornhole that evening and sadly Andy won (he still does not let Haylee forget it). Later that evening the two exchanged phone numbers and from that moment on, there has not been a day the two have not talked.
On Sunday April 24th after a party celebrating a mutual friend's baby shower Andy asked Haylee to be his girlfriend - flipping her Claddagh ring! <3
Andy and Haylee were hosting a Friendsmas Party for all of their mutual friends in town. Prior to the party a small group of friends came over to exchange individual gifts before everyone else arrived. As the girls were exchanging gifts and the boys were frying the turkey, all of a sudden Colt and Chance (the two furbabies) got loose from the bedroom upstairs. Andy had yelled down "Haylee the dogs!!" - quickly Haylee responded with "Well, why did you let them out???" Andy continued to say "Trevor wanted to see Colt." Next the dogs come racing down the stairs, Colt barreling through the living room wearing a new bandana around his neck. Chance then comes trotting in with his new bandana as well - Haylee reads Chance's bandana which said "Will You Marry My Dad?" As soon as Haylee looks up from Chance, Andy comes around the corner with something bulging out of his sweatshirt pocket and the next thing Haylee knows, Andy is on one knee popping the question!! The moment feels as if it lasts 2 minutes long - but in all actuality it was 30 seconds of Andy asking Haylee to "Please Marry Me?" As soon as Andy put the ring on Haylee's finger her immediate response was "OOOOO it is so shiny - Damn, now I gotta plan a wedding!" Huge thank you to Madi and Morgan for helping Andy pick out the MOST PERFECT ring and coordinating the proposal!
