Introduced through mutual friends, Taylor and Andy met on the shores of the Apple River when tubing. After spending the day on the water, they spent the evening sitting by the campfire and talking. This night began their journey together!

Their first date was a stop at Sebastian Joe's for ice cream and a walk around Lake Harriet.

The two began dating in 2021. When Taylor moved to Seattle for work, Andy visited her 14 times. The two of them enjoyed going to the Ballard Farmer's Market, decorating for the holidays, and the occasional outdoor expedition. When Taylor moved back, the two lived in an apartment before buying a home in St. Louis Park.

Andy and Taylor got engaged on February 24th, 2024 at Lake Harriet near the bench where they sat on their first date.

Their favorite joint hobbies include: traveling to warmer places than Minnesota, cooking dinner for each other, playing video games, working on their house, and going on long walks to local coffee shops. They are excited to continue their story and celebrate their love with friends and family!
