It was St. Patrick's day in Omaha. At the time, Andrew was living and working part-time in Denver, but decided to come back to his home in Omaha for the week, to celebrate Omaha's Patty's day festivities with his friends. Kassie on the other hand, was in her 2nd year of grad school at Creighton. She had an exam the next morning, and planned on skipping out on St. Patrick's day all together, until her friends convinced her to close the books and come out as their DD for the night. Shortly after getting to a popular and packed bar downtown, Kassie was ready to call it a night. That was until Andrew (who by the way, was draped with green glow sticks and beads) approached her. Andrew had clearly been served "a few" green beers, but Kassie decided she would entertain the conversation for a little while, which somehow turned out being until bar-close. When the last call was made and the lights turned on, Andrew told Kassie he was going to marry her, and Kassie told Andrew he should mix in a water. Although Kassie figured this charming, hilarious, and ridiculously good looking guy was all talk and booze (mostly the latter) Kassie gave him her number anyway. The next morning, Andrew called Kassie to ask her out on a date and she said yes- and two of the best years of her life later, Andrew asked Kassie to be his wife.
