How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage

Andrew and I met in our 9th grade AP Human Geography class at 14 years old! We became friends as the year went on and eventually started to text each other every day. We started dating on March 6th, 2012 and had our first date together a couple weeks after that. We spent all of High School, College, and our early adult life together. Andrew and I have truly been there for each other through every step of each others lives since we were 15 years old. Our newest challenge of parenthood has been an incredible experience that would not have been possible without the love that we share for each other and the immense support that we have received from our families.

The Proposal

July 27, 2020

Andrew and I got engaged at the Tradewinds Resort in St Pete, we were taking a short beach vacation about a month before Mila was born. On the first night of our stay, Andrew and I went to watch the sunset on the beach before dinner. Right before we sat to watch the sunset, Andrew got down on one knee and proposed! I felt so much joy and shock, I started to cry and said "YES!!" I knew for so long Andrew was the person I would spend my life with, because of him I'm the luckiest girl! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives together with you all!
