Megan & Andrew Dartt
How did the two of you meet?
The story of how we met is actually pretty crazy. In my vows I mentioned the red string theory, how you meet those people by fate. Andrew and I grew up in Oregon and knew all the same people, lived blocks apart at one point, and even worked on the same street!! However, we didn’t meet until our late 20s. Andrew was teaching my best friend’s husband how to DJ and we met one night at the Blarney during one of their DJ gigs. It wasn’t until a few months into dating we learned about how we probably could’ve met a million times but didn’t until the universe knew it was right.
Why do you work together as a couple so well?
We work so well because we trust each other and give one another the utmost respect. There is never a day that goes by that I don’t believe in him and he doesn’t believe in me. We are the perfect balance. He keeps my life light hearted and full of fun and surprises, while I help keep him grounded and organized.
When did you get married?
We got married on June 7th, 2025 in downtown Toledo at the One Seagate Building.

Why do you work together as a couple so well?
Although having similarities is important (like in values and interests), it’s our different personalities that have created such a strong connection between us. I’m stubborn, detail oriented, and thrive on structure; he’s laid-back, sees the bigger picture, and favors spontaneity. It’s like the concept of yin and yang, we balance each other out perfectly. Additionally, we understand nobody is perfect and that we are always growing and changing as individuals, so we do our best to give each other patience and support.
When did you get married?
We got married on September 7th, 2024.
