Andrew and Marissa met in Denton at the University of North Texas in the fall of 2018. They were at bar celebrating a mutual friends birthday. They became immediate best friends, hanging out all the time. People would even ask them if they were dating, the answer was always no until a few months later. Andrew and Marissa remained just friends until the Spring of 2019 before making it official. They knew pretty early on that this was an important relationship that they both wanted to hang onto and fight for. They have a great friend group and family surrounding them, with so much support and love.
