Andrew and Anna first met at Carmel High School in 2011. It all began with a small crush. Andrew had hopes to make Anna his “girlfriend” and utilized his wing man, Eric, to put in a good word. Things quickly turned into radio silence, as things were moving a little too fast for Anna. Don’t worry though, Andrew’s persistence was never deterred. Fast forward to October 2018, when Andrew broke the silence as he slid up in her DMs. After Anna ignoring Andrew multiple times, she finally decided to respond! At this time, Andrew was working in Indianapolis and Anna was in Terre Haute working on her masters. It wasn’t until July 25th, when the two went on their first date to Sushi Bar in Broad Ripple. After that first date, it wasn’t long before Anna (and Bernie) were spending almost every weekend traveling home from ISU to visit Andrew (and Eric). Since their first date, Andrew and Anna have made Indy their home. Their favorite memories include traveling, spending time with family and friends, game nights, trying new restaurants, taking Bernie to the dog park, hanging out on the lake, and cooking together. Andrew proposed to Anna on August 10th, 2021 at her lake house. Andrew organized family and friends to surprise Anna. Anna was clearly not expecting anything out of the ordinary as she had just finished shaving her legs in the lake. Andrew thankfully, coaxed her into playing cards on the boat. While waiting for dinner, Andrew led Anna off the boat and got down on one knee at the same time the Dixie Boat circled the lake displaying a sign that read “Will You Marry Me?”. Needless to say, she said Yes! We’re so excited for you to join us as we say “I do” in September! See you soon!
