Hadley met Andrew in 2001 on her first day at Proctor Academy walking around campus during orientation. Andrew was walking down the hill with a group of his friends, but he was the only one she noticed. They began a friendship and started dating later that year. Throughout their college years they took time to grow as individuals while remaining friends, getting together on vacations when they were both home in Massachusetts. In the summer of 2009, on a camping trip, they realized their feelings for each other had never gone away and resumed their relationship. They have been together ever since.
