We met in the digital age's charming way—on a dating app. Frank happened to come across Andrew’s profile on his 31st birthday, and with one swipe, our story began. We started chatting, and after a few months of messages and shared laughs, we finally met in person on April 30th.

That first date was nothing short of magical. We wandered around Lake Crabtree in Raleigh, where we felt an instant connection. Somewhere along the walk, we shared our first kiss, and it felt like everything just clicked. The night continued with Chinese food and hours of conversation in Frank's car, where we truly started to get to know each other.

From that night on, we continued seeing each other, spending countless hours talking, laughing, and building a beautiful foundation. As we introduced each other to our families, our love grew deeper, with both of us knowing we had found something truly special.

When it came to the proposal, neither of us was sure who would pop the question first, although we both thought it might be Andrew. But in a twist, Frank planned the perfect surprise! During a professional photoshoot on a Sunday afternoon, he secretly arranged with the photographer to turn it into an engagement shoot.

Frank asked Andrew to meet him at one of the shoot locations, telling him it was simply to bring a change of clothes. When he arrived, the photographer suggested we take a few pictures together, and before Andrew knew it, Frank was down on one knee, asking the question that would bring us to this moment.

And now, we can’t wait to continue our story together, surrounded by the people we love.
