We're so excited to celebrate with you!

We matched on Christmas Eve and planned to kick the year off with a super fun first date at the NC Museum of Art. Andrew was quick to point out that the artists used him as a subject when referring to the half-naked sculptures with chiseled abs. Erika replied that it must be embarrassing for him to be out on display like that. Needless to say we became fast friends and have not stopped having fun together since. Over the next few months we fell in love. Andrew would drive every weekend from Ft. Bragg to Raleigh for our dates. One weekend a snowstorm hit Raleigh and we got snowed in together (that weekend we learned a Prius does not like snow). We also took advantage of being next to the PNC Arena and Durham Bulls Stadium where we saw many football, hockey, and baseball games. We formed a partnership and have achieved so much together. We have had so many wonderful memories hiking together on the Appalachian Trail, driving across the US, and buying our first home together. Although we are already legally married, this ceremony is a representation of our love and dedication to each other. We have come so far and are excited for the rest of our lives together.
