Andrew and Peyton met in the fall of 2018 when Peyton started as a freshman at Xavier University in the theatre program. They worked in the scene shop together during the first semester of the year, and were eventually cast in the spring musical together. During the first week of rehearsal, some flirting happened (allegedly), and the pair went on their first date in March of 2019. The couple toughed out a global pandemic, long distance, loss, family illness, and back surgery together, and figured out pretty early on that absolutely nothing was going to keep them apart. Andrew proposed to Peyton on Cincinnati's famous "Purple People Bridge" on December 17th, 2022, where they had had their first kiss almost four years prior. Peyton said "yes", of course, and the couple spent the rest of the evening surrounded by their dearest friends and family.
