MEET OUR OTHER 2026 LOVE COUPLES
How did you meet?
We connected through a KU Facebook group for incoming 2014 students after Andrew posted about finding a campus ministry. Andrea commented with the same interest. After becoming friends, she noticed his post sharing Christian hip hop lyrics, bonded over the niche genre, and Andrew shared his number, beginning their friendship.
Tell us about your first date.
After 2 years of building a friendship, we decided to take the next step and had our first date in 2016. We watched the sunrise from the rooftop of Andrea’s dorm then shared breakfast at First Watch in Lawrence.
The turn (how did you know he/she was the one?)
Andrew knew over time after spending 2 years as friends and 18 months dating. Andrea knew Andrew was the one after seeing how Andrew treated some of the challenging parts of her.
Tell us a few memorable parts of the wedding.
Our Black Panther–themed wedding celebrated Blackness inspired by the film’s debut. Bridesmaids wore red, groomsmen black with green accents honoring the Pan-African flag. Tables featured African prints representing tribes from the movie, and the wedding party entered to “All the Stars” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA.
Who’s more social?
We both are pretty social but find a good balance between socializing and having time at home.
Who’s the neat freak? (and why)
Andrew is definitely the neat freak! Andrew grew up with a large family and found it much easier to adjust and maintain organization and cleanliness. Andrea, who grew up in the household with an older sister always had her own space, tends to be a bit less organized and neat.
What chore does your spouse hate doing the most?
Andrea does not like composting or putting the garbage out. Andrew does not like doing laundry, dishes, or vacuuming.
Who does the cooking? (and why)
We both enjoy cooking! Andrew tends to throw down on holiday favorites like sweet potato pie and other baked goods. But we both enjoy having some fun in the kitchen.
Who tends to be more romantic? (and why)
We are both romantic in our own ways. Andrew likes to plan getaways and Andrea likes to give gifts.
What have you learned to appreciate about your wife/husband that you did not know when you were first married?
Andrew: I admire Andrea’s talent, strong work ethic, and the way she shines when living her passion as a therapist. Andrea: I appreciate Andrew’s growth as a politician; early student government losses in college shaped his wisdom and character, preparing him for the local races he has since successfully won.
What kind of movies do you like watching together?
We mostly enjoy watching shows (like The Boys, Breaking Bad, Power, and Industry) together. But we love going to the movies to see any of the Marvel movies, Ryan Coogler films, and anything with Black actors, writers, and directors.
What song is on each of your romantic playlist?
ICU by Coco Jones No Air by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown
