We're getting married!

Andrew and Christina met in September of 2017 while studying and spending time with mutual friends in the Library at University of Maryland Baltimore County. The couple met and sparked an initial attraction followed by ritual of Christina's dress-wearing to impress Andrew when she inevitably saw him every week before his Thursday night class. The two continued talking and after a few weeks, Andrew and Christina had their first outing with a group of friends at a restaurant called Phoenix Emporium in old Ellicott City. From there, the two continued to bond and have a continued interest in each other. After a month, the two went on a date with friends at the Bowlero in Ellicott City. At this point, Andrew and Christina were very interested in each other and wanted to pursue things further. On Monday, October 23rd of 2017, Andrew officially asked Christina to be his girlfriend at UMBC and the rest is history. The two have been lucky to have grown both as individuals, graduating with their bachelors and master's degrees and have fallen in love throughout the years. On October 22nd of 2021, Andrew planned the engagement of Christina's dreams: a bike ride down to where they first spent time together in Old Ellicott City followed by a picnic where Andrew would pop the question. Of course, Christina said yes!
