Our Wedding

We meet virtually around Thanksgiving, phone numbers were exchanged, and the texting began on December 6th.

First Chat around November 29, 2024

Our third date was under the lights playing mini golf at Pop Stroke at Town Square. William quickly learned that Andrea was competitive and does not like to lose. After what we'll call a "tie", we drove to Ethel M to see the holiday lights at the cactus garden and tasted wine and chocolate. Delicious!

December 14, 2024

Our first date was "just coffee" (chai for Andrea) at Urth Cafe, which turned into a stroll through the Uncommons. Neither wanting the date to end, we wandered into Wineaux for our first glass of wine together.

Sunday, December 8, 2024

Our second date was originally planned for that Saturday, the 14th, but William couldn't wait and met Andrea at Born and Raised. This eventually became one of our local happy hour spots. Another "quick drink" turned into hours of conversation and laughter

December 12, 2024

We love to laugh together, all. the. time! We went to our first comedy show at Town Square. Oh, and this was the first time William met Andrea's parents!

February 1 & 16, 2024

William crashed Happy Hour at Stadium WSKY and met Janell and Colleen. Funny story, the first time William cooked dinner for Andrea at his house, they drank wine out of Legoland mugs because he didn't have any wine glasses! Andrea and Janell happen to be shopping, Andrea tells the story, and Janell insists on buying William two wine glasses to keep at his house!

May 2, 2025

THE DAY! Just another Thursday or so we think. Andrea has to attend Regan's Confirmation rehearsal at 5pm at St. Joe's, but she gets a call at work asking if she and William are interested in attending the VGK playoff game...the first Yes of THE DAY!Fast forward to 6pm, William picks up Andrea at the church to head to T-Mobile Arena. Andrea is anxious because she's nervous they'll miss the opening performance, and William is even more anxious, which she doesn't find out until later!Yes, they make it just in time for the opening act, although slightly bummed they didn't have time to stop at the bar for a spritz!They barely make it into the suite before the lights go down and the fun begins. After the National Anthem, the lights come on and so it begins.Andrea remembers William coming and going from the suite, when he walks back in with a shot of Jameson. Andrea responds, "you didn't bring me a spritz?!?!, we are breaking up!" to which William chuckles.Roberto, the incredible longtime server in the suite, walks up to Andrea and asks for her help. Roberto asks, "Andrea do you happen to know who is getting engaged tonight, I have a bottle of Veuve"....It all happened so quick! Andrea dumbfounded, not even knowing who is all in the suite yet, William shocked but laughing, approaches and taps Roberto on the shoulder.As William says, "she is" and points to Andrea, Andrea's mouth drops and is speechless, for once but only for about a few seconds, points back and forth saying, "me?" "we?" "you are proposing to me" ....who really knows what was said, but William drops to one knee with a huge smile on this face, Andrea bends down to kiss him. William asked "is that a yes" to which Andrea replied " did you even ask, i cant hear anything" and then immediately says YES and he stands up to put the ring on her finger.After hugs and kisses, they turn around to see everyone in the suite starting at them. What an incredible moment, even more blessed with Heidi, Josh, and Zoe witnessing the entire thing! not to mention a few others of Andrea's work family. Andrea is in shock, William is relieved, Heidi is crying... haha! Andrea FaceTime's her parents and sister and then Lee, who was still working of course!William shared the news with Jazzy!Little did we know four months earlier, our first time in the suite together, that we'd get engaged there too!Now on to the events leading up to this being the day William proposed!Stay tuned ;)
