My sweet friend Shannon is going to get married to Andy in less than 2 months!!
Let me tell you a story.
I used to live with Shannon back in college. I lived with her and Jen in a condo in a sketchy place by campus. Story of everyone’s life that goes to UK.
Shannon decided to to work at a YL camp on Summer Staff for a month one year [best month of your life, guaranteed]. Well she set off for Windy Gap in NC, where she had an incredible month while Jen and I sat at home and missed her.
One day we noticed there were some pictures of Shannon’s SS up on facebook [she was still gone]. So, we looked. There were a few pictures of her with a boy. One picture with a boy doesn’t mean a whole lot, but a few? That does. She was pictured with Andy in 3 pictures from what I can remember. One they were walking in a grocery store of some sort down an aisle together, one they were dancing in the barn together, and one they were hugging and smiling for the camera. Jen, Holly, and I were freaking out. We left her a voicemail, we may have wrote on her wall, we were going crazy.
So we don’t hear from Shannon. I leave for summer camp [at Windy Gap] with high schoolers the day Shannon leaves SS, so we miss each other, BUT, small detail, this boy in the photos, Andy, was an intern. That means he was there ALL summer. I was on a mission.
We got off the bus at camp, I find Andy, and say, “you know my roommate”. The guy sitting with Andy started cracking up. I knew something was up.
The last day of camp we were waiting for our bus, and I come across Andy. We stopped and chatted a bit. I don’t remember what was said, but I felt confident that I approved of him.
A month or so later I was back at Windy Gap for Summer Staff and Andy was there. We became friends. I still approve and am SO excited for them. By the way, they were referred to as Shandy when they met at Windy Gap.
So a month ago I headed to Windy Gap with Jen and we took engagement pictures for them! So fun:) We also headed into Asheville, as well as on top of some mountain nearby. Here are my favorites!
Ale 8 should provide free drinks at their wedding since their product appears in all her pictures… just sayin.
