Andrea and I met on December 31, 2005. We had a few mutual friends who invited the two of us to their apartment for a New Years celebration. Little did we know that this night would lead to the most amazing relationship! Believe it or not, our first kiss was during a game of spin-the-bottle! We felt an immediate attraction and connection to each other.
The following year was filled with several exciting trips and adventures leading us to San Francisco, New York, and Pittsburgh among many other places. On Christmas Day 2006, we became engaged. Andrea proposed to me after giving me several gifts chronicling our exhilarating year together.
Although we did not know how or where we wanted to get married, we knew that this was definitely what we wanted. We searched through our options and now, after being together for 4 ½ years, we are finally in a wedding planning whirlwind! We are getting married this September in Allentown, PA at the Allentown Brew Works. We couldn’t be more excited, or more ready, to take this step! We are so blessed to have found each other and to have wonderful and supportive friends and family!
