Carlson and Andrews met when Carlson was a student at St. George’s School in Rhode Island and Andrews' father was the headmaster. “She was the cutest 10th grader in America,” Carlson told PEOPLE in 2000. As for Andrews' impression of Carlson, “There was a bounce in his walk,” she said. “He was in his khaki pants and ribbon belt and I thought, even then, he seemed so optimistic and positive.”

Carlson and Andrews got engaged six months before he graduated from Trinity College in 1991. He later joked to PEOPLE, “All very 19th century, but a good thing to do.”

Andrews' father was investigated for allegedly not reporting sexual abuse

Several members of the staff, including priests, at the prestigious $58,000-per-year Episcopal boarding school were accused of sexually abusing students over the course of more than three decades. Though both Carlson and Andrews had long graduated from the school when the investigation started, Andrews sat on the board of the institution at the time.

In November 2018, protesters surrounded the Washington, D.C., home Carlson and his family shared at the time.

“I called my wife. She had been in the kitchen alone getting ready to go to dinner and she heard pounding on the front door and screaming,” Carlsonrecalled in an interview withThe Washington Post. “Someone started throwing himself against the front door and actually cracked the front door.”

Carlson alleged that it wasn’t a protest at all, but “a threat.”
