From the Disney College program to a Disney Engagement
In 2017, Erin and Andrew met while enrolled in the Disney College program. This initial meeting turned into a, now, 6.5 year relationship!
Their Disney experience didn’t end after they met, though! In a wonderful surprise, Andrew proposed to Erin while they were enjoying some time at Disney Springs <3
"They helped coordinate with all other vendors, checked my work and made sure I didn’t miss anything while planning, created a timeline for the day, set up the venue, made sure we had everything we needed day of and helped everything go so smoothly amongst many other things she did leading up to the big day and during it." - Erin & Andrew
Shared Hobbies and Sweet Connections
Erin and Andrew’s common interests are evident through the way they met, but their love of the same things doesn’t end there!
They love Cirque du Soleil shows and have compiled a “bucket list” to look forward to. They enjoy going to the beach and have their own salt water fish tanks! Video games are always a source of entertainment, of course, but drinking craft beer and exploring breweries is where their story ties together!
"I had virtually no stress on our wedding day because of Sophia. She REALLY knows what she is doing. And not only that but you can tell that she and her team really enjoy what they do." Erin & Andrew
