Champions of the modern data scene, Haley and Andrew (Andy) met while playing roulette at the Hinge casino during the fall of 2019. Things progressed rapidly as Haley fell in love with … Dirk, Andy’s best boy, whom she met after their first date. A pandemic-riddled 2020 solidified their relationship as they sheltered together at Andy’s home in Durham, N.C., before they experienced a long-distance stint as Haley returned to Rochester, N.Y., to live closer to family and spend more time with her dad. Unable to carry on without her prince, Haley returned to North Carolina a year later, where the couple remains today with a life full of Dirk, travel, good eats/drinks and Carolina Hurricanes hockey games. While hosting both families for Thanksgiving in 2023, Andy received the blessing for Haley’s hand in marriage. A few months later, Andy took a timeout from an intense jigsaw puzzling session to propose to Haley in her parents’ living room, where she was surrounded by family. Haley and Andy are very excited to get married and to continue to author their story together. The couple looks forward to welcoming their family and friends to Raleigh to share in their special day and is thankful for everyone who has played a role in their journey to date.
