Our Story
How We Met
We met in 2015 while working for Cerner in Kansas City. Fresh out of college, we frequented all the bars with the same friend groups - before we knew it, we were together all the time and hiding our romance from our coworkers. After living in Kansas City for 3 and a half years, we were itching for a new adventure. We packed our bags and moved to Atlanta and haven't looked back! Although we no longer work for Cerner, we look back on those years as some of the most fun times of our lives. We recently purchased our first home in Underwood Hills and live with our Golden Retriever, Jenny, who we adopted during quarantine. In our free time, we love taking Jenny on hikes, cooking new recipes and eating and drinking our way through our new city.
Our Engagement
On June 13, 2020 our regular Saturday morning walk with Jenny became one of our favorite memories! Andrew pulled off the biggest surprise and proposed to Eleanor at the lake at Piedmont Park. We went to Park Tavern to get drinks after and were greeted by Peggy, Neal, Claire and Lily to celebrate our special moment. We celebrated all afternoon and evening with friends at some of our favorite spots in Atlanta: Bantam Pub and the Hotel Clermont.

Our Old Neighborhood
Andrew and I lived in Old Fourth Ward for two years, and we loved every minute of it! These are a few of our favorite spots:
- Go up to the roof for great views of the city!
- The Clermont Lounge is in the back of the hotel
Highland Bakery or Bread and Butterfly
- Great for brunch
The Beltline
- You can start at Ponce, hop on the Beltline, stop at each place along the way to Krog!
- Great shopping, food, and drinks!
- The roof is pricey, but worth it if you have time! It's called Nine Mile Station
- Our favorite restaurant in Ponce is Marrakesh
Kroger Bar
- A cute patio bar with excellent prices on drinks!
- One of the more popular breweries in Atlanta for the views, excellent food, and good beer. Be sure to go to the second floor!
- When you go to this restaurant/bar, you'll know why we love this place!
- Our favorite restaurant is Superica - if there's a wait, you can get drinks at Hop City. Trust me - it's worth the wait!
- Hands down the best restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. Make a reservation!
