Our love story began on a sweltering August night in 2015 thanks to Bumble. From our first date, we couldn’t stop talking, so much so that we got sunburned at the beach, completely lost in conversation during our second date. By the next weekend, Andrew asked Tenderly to be his girlfriend. Nearly ten years later, we’re still talking like it’s that first date, sharing dreams, debating history, and still asking the all important question, “Who would you have dinner with, dead or alive?”

We’ve made so many memories together, full of what we call Anderly Misadventures Incorporated. From driving through a meteor shower in New Mexico in the dead of winter, ending in an eye patch and cane the week before our wedding, to traveling all the way to Egypt and meeting the King Tutankhamen. I mean, how incredibly cool is that?!

Our dream is to have a home with space for a real garden, a place to grow fresh, organic fruits and veggies to share with neighbors and loved ones. We want to fill it with native flowers to support pollinators, hatch butterflies, and maybe even have a tiny apiary. Gardening is how we bond, and creating a space that nourishes both our community and the environment would mean the world to us.
