Taken by Andrae's contagious smile, Sarah was excited when Andrae "liked" her back on OkCupid. From the beginning Andrae thought, "Why can't I find someone like her to marry?" A few online conversations revealed their shared love of family and athletic outdoor adventure. As educators, their first date at Basso's in October was filled with idealism and realism. For their second date, Andrae asked Sarah to go on a bike ride. Andrae showed up at the Bike Stop Cafe with his clip-in pedals and full riding suit, which was totally intimidating, but Sarah held her own and tried not to let her nerves show. Both regret not asking the other about getting lunch afterwards, but they ended up together at Gelateria del Leone later that same evening (there remains some debate about whether that was still date number two or if it was date number three). The rest is kind of history. Andrae and Sarah love riding (Sarah has since gotten her own bike with clip in pedals and padded bike shorts), running, hitting baseballs, travel, podcasts, and playing Barbies, singing, dancing, and anything with the amazing Kennedy who rounds out their little family. It has been a short, exciting, beautiful engagement and Andrae and Sarah are thrilled to make their relationship forever. Adventure awaits!
