Our Wedding

We met at the start of PT school at the University of Miami in 2022 and quickly ended up in the same friend group. A few months later, David asked Bianca to play tennis, which lead to a walk around Coconut Grove the following day and hours of talking about our families. From there, things just clicked. We’ve shared countless dates, discovered our love for cooking together, and have enjoyed traveling together, especially to our hometowns of Frankfort and Park City (&amp; Jamaica of course). In May, we graduated from PT school, and shortly after, David proposed during an unforgettable family trip to Italy. Now that we’ve started our residencies together at the University of Miami working in athletics, we’re excited to keep building our lives side by side—continuing to cook, travel, spend time with family, and explore new adventures, starting with our honeymoon in Hawaii!
