"We get down to our spot, pour some wine, walked toward the water and when I turned around, he was on one knee," Andi told People of her beau, a former college baseball player who now works in commercial real estate. They met 15 years ago and reconnected in the summer of 2021 when they saw each other in Italy. "I don't even remember what he said, I just remember hugging him and crying. … then after, the best part was, he told me instead of dinner we were going to stay the night at Hotel Bel-Air. So we drove home to pack a bag and when I opened the door to our home, both of our families and my closest friends were there to surprise me. That's when I really started bawling." People, which has engagement and ring photos, reported that they picked out her diamond ring together and used the same jeweler who made an engagement ring for Andi's mom nearly 40 years earlier. "[I love] that Blaine visited my parents in Atlanta to ask both of them for their blessing and even called my sister to ask for hers as well. That just epitomizes the kind of man Blaine is," she said.
