Little did Andrew and Tiffany know, they had always been about an hour apart since college: Andrew attended the United States Military Academy (West Point) in New York and Tiffany attended Princeton University in New Jersey. After graduation, Andrew moved to Clarksville, TN for his first duty station assignment at Fort Campbell with the 101st Airborne Division and Tiffany started graduate school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Their paths finally crossed on a dating app that their friends recommended. Now, four and a half years, two deployments, and a Ph.D. later, Andrew and Tiffany are tying the knot with all of their loved ones. Here's to forever!

While Tiffany was visiting Andrew in Missouri during his Army Captain Career Course, Andrew suggested that they go to a local park, Maramec Springs, with some friends to have a small brunch. Unbeknownst to Tiffany, Andrew had the ring stuffed in his sock. After some good food and conversation with some friends, it was suggested that we all go see a different part of the park and take some pictures. Most of the morning, Tiffany was being her stubborn self and insisted on not taking any pictures so Andrew had to be very persuasive to enact his plan. And it worked! After taking a picture, Andrew suggested taking another, got down on one knee, and popped the question. Tiffany's response went from "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" to "OF COURSE!" in a blink of an eye. Andrew successfully pulled off his big surprise!
