Kimmel Love Story | Pole Steeple Sunset Shoot

Andy and I just celebrated our 2 Year Wedding Anniversary in the beginning of May, but we have been together for almost 8 years. We started dating right before my senior year at college and managed a long distance relationship for two years after that when I moved right outside of DC to start my career.

Every year, over New Year’s, we vacation in Florida with Andy’s family. Andy proposed to me a few days before 2014 on the beach right before the sun set. I was told that we had to walk to a new restaurant that is located right on the beach to a surprise blanket with a bottle of wine and a few gifts.

  • The first gift I received was a Penn State teddy bear which represented our time together when we first started dating while I attended Penn State.
  • The second gift I received was a painted martini glass which represented all of the meals and drinks that we had while I lived in DC (we are huge foodies!).
  • The third gift I received represented our future together and it was a picture frame that held a picture of Andy’s grandparents and my grandparents. Our grandparents were married for 60+ years, which shows that true love does exist!
  • The last gift I received was my engagement ring which represented our ‘present’ time together. It was all downhill from there!

A marriage tip that we have would be to take interest in what your spouse likes or likes to do. When you can enjoy the same things and have fun, it brings you that much closer to your best friend.
