Plenty of people get married, and plenty of people run 10Ks, but how many people do you know who do both on the same day? Well, Andy and Tina plan to knock a whole bunch of firsts off their list this year at the Cooper Bridge Run in Charleston, SC. First, they'll run a 10K. Then, as soon as they can towel off, they'll tie the knot in Marion Square. That's more firsts in a day than most people have in a year!

We caught up with Andy and Tina to learn a little bit more about their big day and their excitement over their upcoming first-ever cruise to the Bahamas (yes, another first!). Read on, fun people, read on.

How did you two meet?

We met at Surry Community College in North Carolina while obtaining associate degrees in preparation for Appalachian State University. We were on a field trip to Wilmington, NC for history class.  

Why did you want to run a 10K before tying the knot?

We had planned to run the Cooper River Bridge Run months in advance as we were getting into shape to see if we could do it and to have something fun to do while exercising. The run gave us another goal to achieve helping us with our weight loss. The race to the altar is symbolic of the healthy lifestyle that we want to continue to lead.   

Is this your first 10K?

Yes.

What did people say when you told them you'd be getting married after running a 10K? 

Friends and family were very excited and also curious as to whether or not we would be getting married in running clothes. 

What are you more nervous about, the wedding or the race?

We are not nervous about either one. The wedding is certainly a very big step for us but we have been to together for 6 years and we already had plans for marriage. We look forward to the race as a way to continue our healthy lifestyle and we are excited about living the rest of our lives together. 

As you know, Carnival is celebrating a year of firsts. What are some other things you'd like to try for the first time in 2011?

Cruising!  Maybe Carnival could even give us a job traveling across the world for them. We could be the next travel show hosts — a couple's version.  Seriously, that would be awesome! We would also like to apply to Physician's Assistant school at MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina) this year.   

Have you ever cruised before, or is this another first?

This will be our first time and we are very excited to experience the cruising life. 

What new experiences do you hope to have on your Carnival cruise? For example, new onboard dining or entertainment experiences, new shore excursion experiences?

We hope to experience good food and company as well as any and all fun activities that we can find. We hope to swim with dolphins and snorkel as well as engage in as many shore excursions as we can find. All of these will be firsts for us!

Do you see more races together in the future?

Definitely. The race gives a training goal to achieve and look forward to which helps with the healthy lifestyle that we want to live from now on. It is also a fun way meet new people.

So Andy, do you plan on carrying Tina across the finish line?

Yes!

Thanks again for your time! Would you mind a follow-up interview after the race to the altar? We'd love to hear how it all went, especially about your 5-day honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas on the Carnival Fantasy!   

That would be great.

Starring in a reality show about cruising? Now that would be the Ultimate First!
