KATIE + ANDREW STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | THE RUSTY PELICAN | TAMPA, FL
Get to know Katie & Andrew…
How/when did you meet each other:: Andrew and I met in freshman year at the University of Florida. My dorm roommate and I were having a game night at my dorm . One of her friends, Joe (the best man), brought Andrew with him. We played a game called “werewolves” that showed Andrews bright and silly personality. Immediately I was interested, but Andrew was seeing someone else at the time. We had hung out many more times at mutual friend events. one day were were the only ones in the friend group, along with Monica (bridesmaid), who were 21. So naturally we went out together, just the three of us. By this point Andrew was single and Monica could sense our chemistry, so she helped set us up. A few months later, I made the big move and kissed him at midnight during a NYE party. The rest is history!
How did he propose:: After I graduated nursing school, Andrew and I Decided to take a road trip to North Carolina between our birthdays. The plan was to go hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. At the very first hike of the very first day, after walking up a mile to the top of a hill, Andrew surprised me with his proposal while posing for pictures. I had no idea, it was very sweet. We spent the rest of the trip celebrating our engagement.
What do you love about each other:: Andrew is literally my best friend. We do everything together. We share similar interests, have a lot of mutual friends and love to go on adventures. The more I got to know him, the closer we grew. He always makes me laugh, is an amazing chef, passionate and extremely smart person.
Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: We enjoy playing tennis, watching movies, cooking, going out with friends, competing hard core in board games/foosball.

We really enjoyed seeing these two interact with each other and their loved ones, it was such a beautiful occasion and just being able to experience so much JOY was a treat.
