Andrew and Christian met on November 20, 2018 at Ault Elementary School in Cypress, Texas. It was a cold pre-Thanksgiving evening and the two went on a walk. Andrew thought he was a runner... he'd change his classification that day when he learned how fast and far Christian runs... but they enjoyed their brisk walk and agreed to meet again the next day for a proper jog.

What followed was several months of phone calls, texts, another visit to Cypress and a visit to South Florida. Christian (in true Christian style) said "I love you" first, and melted Andrew's heart.

Throughout the years (and pandemic!) that followed, the two grew closer -- even achieving top tier frequent flyer status on the nation's beloved (and dearly departed) airline, Spirit. In July of 2021 however, Andrew traveled to Texas one more time -- picked up a U-Haul trailer, and drove together with Christian and kiddos in tow to Naples, Florida where they'd spend the next 2 1/2 years planning their lives together.

In 2023 Andrew changed employers, which granted the two geographic freedom. After much deliberation and the ONLY true argument the two have ever had, they moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee - a place they both treasure.

Now together, it seems fitting they call on friends and family to join them as they start the next chapter of their lives together as husbands.

We couldn't be MORE excited to share our upcoming wedding with you!
