David & Emily met at the U of M Twin Cities in 2017. Emily was living in Dinkytown her Junior year and David in Como post graduation. Their first date was to Girodano’s Pizzeria in Uptown. While Emily would always tell her friends to not go to a second location with a first date, David looked at her after dinner with his dreamy eyes and said “Do you want to go see a movie?, my car is down the street!” She said yes probably too quickly! They saw Baby Driver and the rest is history.


They moved into their first apartment together in 2020 before the pandemic hit. Soon after they bought their first home in Crystal, MN. 


In March 2022, David asked Emily to marry him while at their favorite restaurant in Chicago, The Chop House (the lobster bisque is their favorite!) 


They have supported each other through grad school, multiple job changes, and their biggest journey, the birth of their son, David Rafael. 
David & Emily can’t wait to celebrate their love with you all!!
