Our Love Story It all started at a retail store—Gabe’s in Frederick—where we met as co-workers. At first, we were just work friends, grabbing lunch together during shifts and sharing casual conversations. But as time passed, our friendship deepened. We found ourselves spending more time together outside of work—taking medical classes, tackling home projects like painting the deck, and going on early morning hikes. Through these moments, we truly got to know each other, building a foundation of trust, laughter, and companionship. Andrew may have had a quiet crush, while Lia was perfectly happy keeping things in the friend zone—until one day, something just clicked. After two and a half years of friendship, it was Lia who asked Andrew to make it official before he could even work up the nerve. Now, three years later, we’ve grown closer than ever, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. ❤️
