Like most singles in Seattle, Andy and Juliane met online. Their first date started at M Bar. Andy's friend provided free champagne, which surprised a skeptical Juliane. But, it was clear from the beginning that they had magnetic chemistry. At one point they pleasantly, but passionately argued over which Alien franchise movie is the best. Not wanting the night to end, Juliane suggested they go to her favorite bar at the time, Hillside. After the two ran in the rain over to Linda's Tavern for the third and last stop of the night, Andy walked Juliane home. On their second date, Andy made Juliane his specialty, pasta carbonara, and gave her a baby pink SUS t-shirt. She was smitten. She also realized she might have missed the tone of the evening, bringing White Claw, white cheddar popcorn and Cheetos. Andy loved Juliane's commitment to snacking and appreciated the gesture. In the following years, they moved in together, got a kitten and started planning their dream life as partners. On April 20th 2022, Andy and Juliane got engaged in Tucson, with San Xavier Mission behind them and the sun setting over the desert.
