"Looking at the save the date and thinking about that day. I woke up knowing that was the day that started the rest of our conjoined lives. You looked so beautiful and the sun was brilliant, shining on your face. Watching you get ready, not really knowing but knowing. Perfectly matched each others colors and that wasn’t planned on my end at all just the last real clean clothes haha. Anyways, my heart was beating and I don’t know why. I knew the answer but was filled with so many happy emotions all I could think about was where and how. After you said yes though, my heart and time felt to stop, and it was the happiest I’ve felt in my entire life. Sitting with you by the water, calling everyone, what a day baby. We have many many more to come and I’m so excited to be here with you."

We met when I moved to Bradley Beach back in 2023. Like any modern dating story, we met on a dating app. (Would you believe it was Tinder?) We messaged back and forth a bit for a couple days- Andrew openly admits that he would lay on the floor of his hot apartment with a portable handheld AC unit and smile at his phone when we would message. I was actually looking to meet someone so I suggested we take the conversation off of the app and meet up in person. It was a beautiful sunny and 75 type of Sunday morning when we met up at the local coffee shop, The Perfect Perk. We sat and talked for hours. We joke around now- that was the day we met and we have pretty much spent every single day together, since.
