We met in the summer of 2019, over cake and tea at HARBS. We got to know each other while discussing paintings at the Brooklyn Museum, admiring dogs at Prospect Park, watching “Joy Luck Club” in Chinatown, and picnicking in Central Park. We eventually developed a routine of exploring restaurants and doing the New York Times crossword together. And then COVID hit. Our relationship shifted to nightly FaceTime chats, many visits to Long Island (during which Andrew got to know Leslie’s family), a trip out to California for Leslie to meet Andrew’s parents, and making plans for the future. It wasn’t always easy, but it made our love stronger. In December 2021, Andrew proposed at the Conservatory Garden. We so look forward to sharing our special day with you.
