Anna and Tucker both went to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa but were only acquaintances during those years. In 2020, Anna moved to Chicago and moved in with her best friend from college and actually lived in the same neighborhood as Tucker. As time went on, Tucker and Anna would be invited to group hang outs amongst friends and had ample opportunity to get to know one another. In April 2022, Anna and Tucker had been crushing on one another for awhile and had joined a kickball team together. This led to Tucker finally asking Anna out on a date and they went to an incredible John Mayer concert...best first date ever! Fast forward to August 2024, Anna and Tucker went on a Mediterranean cruise where Tucker popped the question on the first night of their cruise.. Anna of course said yes!

Anna and Tucker both love Florida. St. Augustine specifically holds a special place in the heart of Tucker, his family, and now for Anna. Both sets of Tucker's grandparents spent time in retirement in St. Augustine so Tucker and his family spent many family vacations there. Tucker's parents, Bob and Heidi, now live in St. Augustine full time so Anna and Tucker are excited to share this special place with their future family as well. Anna's parents, Al and Ellen also live in Florida (Punta Gorda) part time so celebrating their wedding closer to them is very special as well.
