Andrea and Peter met by chance not knowing they had a similar past. Both going to the same high school, but never meeting until after they graduated. Peter had just moved home from Utah, and fatefully walking into the same dive bar one night.
Peter invited Andrea to his Uncle’s property for lunch and hiking. While they were hiking, unbeknownst to Andrea, Peter’s cousin and his fiancé were setting up an adorable lunch in the forest inside a lit up igloo. After lunch Peter took Andrea down by the lake and dropped to a knee!
