In this heartfelt and joy-filled episode, Celeste and Dave sit down with Andrew and Christine — a couple whose love story sparked during a live music show in the early days after COVID and has continued to grow through intention, honesty, openness, and a kind of “in-your-bones” recognition that neither of them had ever experienced before.
From a simple request for a photo to an unforgettable first date in the dark on a quiet beach, their story is one of energy, safety, synchronicity, and the kind of emotional intimacy that comes from two people who are willing to show up fully for themselves and each other.
Episode Summary
Andrew and Christine met in June 2020 at one of Andrew’s post-COVID outdoor concerts at a winery. After the show, a simple photo request — “Do I really have to stand six feet away?” — created an undeniable moment of electricity that neither of them could ignore. That moment led to conversation, connection, exchanged numbers, and a first date that was as unconventional as it was magical: sitting at an empty beach at night, unable to see each other, talking for hours, guided only by voice, energy, and presence.
From there, their connection deepened quickly. Honest communication, emotional safety, mutual curiosity, and a shared desire for real partnership allowed them to grow individually and together.
