Andy & Bridget
CELEBRATE WITH US
ABOUT US
Bridget and Andy met in November 2020. Bridget had just moved to the Roaring Fork Valley when a coworker (and cupid - thanks Joe!!!) introduced her to Andy over email (shoutout COVID-19), as their interests seemed to align. They agreed to connect and ended up talking into the wee hours of the morning. The rest is history, but suffice to say it didn't take long for them both to realize that they had met their person.
A few months later, the two moved in together, became quarantine buddies, and thrived through it. After that experience, it was abundantly clear that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Along with their puppy, Koda, Bridget and Andy have made a happy home in Carbondale, CO. They couldn't be more excited to welcome you to their little mountain town to show you a slice of the life they love so much. Bridget and Andy are looking forward to tying the knot and celebrating with all of their favorite people - that means you!
