In 2021, amidst the chaos of the world, Monte and Andie's love story began on Hinge. Andie was living in Miami at the time with hopes to move back to Orlando for the Halloween season, while Monte lived in Orlando. Their first date was a Zoom escape room, where they discovered their shared love for wizardry and laughter. When they finally met in person on a Jupiter beach, the sun seemed to shine brighter.

Their bond deepened further one hot August day when they ventured into Orange County Animal Services. Among the rows of hopeful faces, they found her—the dog who they would soon name Marnie. Her sweet and soulful eyes gazed up at them, tugging at their heartstrings. Andie couldn't resist getting down to Marnie's level, peering through the chain-link gate. When they took her to the play area, Marnie glued herself to Andie's leg, and she's been stuck there ever since.

In this whirlwind of laughter, love, and a touch of whimsy, from their nightly Jeopardy showdowns to their thrill-seeking adventures in theme parks, Monte and Andie cherish every moment, knowing that with Marnie by their side, life's adventures are even sweeter.
