Valerie and Andrew met and started dating in 2016, but their paths crossed many times before they made a connection. They both grew up in the small town of Holland, PA and went to the same high school. She was a cheerleader and he was in the band. From the movies, you would think that’s where their love story started, but not yet! At this point, they knew each other by name, but didn’t officially meet until a few years later. Come 2013 when they ran into each other at a Halloween Party at Temple University through some mutual friends. The interaction was a quick one, but still one they talk about to this day. Mostly because Andrew was dressed in full lederhosen. Fast forward to a September night in 2016; they both found themselves at a housewarming party in downtown Philadelphia for another mutual friend. Valerie knew she wouldn’t know many people, but wanted to be there for her friend’s celebration. Andrew knew multiple people and was ready for a fun night in the city. Andrew saw Valerie and struck up a conversation that lasted for hours. They didn’t even realize it was 2am because they were so busy talking. The next weekend they went on their first date which was a bar crawl and have been in love ever since! Fun fact: the day of their wedding will be exactly 6 years and 1 day after their first date.
