OCTOBER 2021 CELEBRATION CANCELED, More Details below

Due to the surge of the DELTA Variant, and Kelsey's new position, we are canceling our planned 2021 Wedding Celebration. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes you. If you ware interested in celebrating with us privately, please feel free to reach out, and we will happily make plans when it is safe to do so! With Love, Kelsey and Andy

One day, I was shopping at the Harris Teeter on 9th Street in Durham. I was walking down the sweets isle when a man stopped me. He said he was looking for some Little Debbie Swiss Rolls to replace the ones his sister had smashed. He didn't know if he should get the small box or the big one and wanted me to weigh in my opinion. Then before I could answer he told me a joke. "How do you tell the sex of an ant?" "Put it in water. If it sinks it's a girl-ant but if it floats it's boy-ant." I didn't laugh. Instead I told him the small box was probably better if he needed to hide it from his siblings (I later found out he ignored me and went back and exchanged the small box for the large one). The rest, as they say, is history. Or we met on Tinder, you decide.

After work that day, Andy told me that we were going to take his sister, Abby, out to dinner to celebrate her finishing up the school year. He said we were going to go somewhere nice so I should get dressed up. Once I was ready, I walked downstairs and saw sitting on the kitchen table a wheel of Brie cheese with a note on it that said, "Come outside." That's when I knew he was proposing. I walked out into our backyard and saw Andy, sitting in a chair surrounded by candles and flowers. He said to come and sit down and watch a movie with him. He had set up a large outdoor movie theater in our backyard and made a beautiful stop motion video. At the end of the video, he proposed, and without hesitation, I said "yes!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13wQ5OCi_RQ

It was Valentines Day of 2020. On the way to dinner, Kelsey told me we needed to stop by the Harris Teeter grocery store on Ninth Street to get some tampons. In the store, we were walking down the aisles when we found themselves in front of boxes of Little Debbie's Swiss Rolls. On one of the boxes, there was a special message: "Andy, Will you marry me?" Kelsey got down on one knee, held a ring high in the air, and the rest is history.
