How We Met
Megan and Andy started dating in the typical millennial fashion (meeting on Hinge) in Winter 2019, pre-pandemic, before the world shut down. On their first date, Andy was about a half-hour late, wearing a gray V-neck sweater nearly identical to the one Megan had on at dinner that night. Serendipitous, to say the least. From the moment they met, it was clear to both of them that their relationship was the real deal. In the years that followed, these two began writing their love story while navigating through a pandemic, loss of loved ones, unexpected lay-offs, multiple career shifts and different living situations. After all that, these two souls continue to support each other through life's highs and lows, growing old together as their two hearts become one. In the words of Tina Turner (or Patrick from “Schitt’s Creek”) the love between Megan and Andy is “simply the best."

Clarence Yuan
Groomsman
Meeting during their freshman year at Franklin College Switzerland, Andy and Clarence Yuan formed a close bond as roommates and lovers of "the old school."
