The first time Andy met Jessica, they were emerging from Covid lockdown and found themselves sitting across from each other at The Sanibel Grill (and then next to each other), telling Dad Jokes late into the evening.

The second time Andy met Jessica, he took her on a “proper date” out on Captiva, where they were treated to live music, a lot of comp drinks, and some illicit 4th of July fireworks.

The third time Andy met Jessica, he stayed overnight in the living room watching Lulah, who was recovering from double knee surgery, so that Jessica could get an uninterrupted night’s sleep. (Truly a gentleman!)

Since Day 1, Mr. Andrew James Willis (the unofficial mayor of Sanibel with a heart of gold) and Ms. Jessica Lynn Hinkle (the island girl turned city girl turned island girl) connected in a way they both knew was special, and despite the ups and downs of the journey they have since found themselves on, they never looked back.

Andy and Jessica have time and again benefited from and forever appreciate the love and support they receive from both friends and family.

Through birthday celebrations, phone calls, holidays, concerts, fantasy football drafts, hurricanes and dislocation/ relocation, job losses, career gains, loss, and the commitment of ongoing love -

From Sanibel to Ireland and St Lucia, to Hurricane Ian to North Carolina to Chester Springs, PA -

Andy and Jessica are where they are today because of the ongoing love and support of each and every one of you.

Their wedding is happening July 19, 2025, because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.
