Once upon a time, a girl’s work best friend turned into a real best friend. That real best friend had a brother. That brother ended up being the best best friend that girl ever had. So that girl is marrying that boy.

But for real: Elise and Ryan Steele (Dave’s med school roommate) devised a plan to have us meet causally (Sept 2022). Put us in the same room and see what happens. Science experiments and such. They planned a bonfire at Elise’s house. The experiment was successful. We fell in love deeply! We want you to witness our vows before God to love each other faithfully for as long as we both draw breath. Thanks for being a part of our great love story.
