Our Wedding

Welcome to our wedding website. On Sunday, September 18th, 2016, Ingrid accompanied David to his first half Ironman race (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.1 mile run) expecting to read a book and maybe do a run while waiting 6-7 hours for him to finish. Instead, his best friend, G, and oldest daughter Layla, showed up before the start to wish him well and invited her to join them at the finish line on the boardwalk where they were volunteering. Ingrid decided that would be more fun than spending the time alone, so she tagged along. First thing she did was get her run over with and when she returned, G suggested she volunteer too because Layla decided to and they gave her a free hat and t-shirt without even checking. Throughout the day, Ingrid received texts from her best friend, Heather, and Dave's cousin, Kelly, wondering when she thought Dave might finish. Kelly was en route with Uncle Tom, Aunt Nancy and Aunt Maryann, and frantically trying to make it in time. When she finally arrived, she got very choked up as she asked Ingrid to go up to the finish line as Dave came in and wave a little American flag in honor of his mom, Diane. She said she had cleared it with DelMo Sports and it would be no problem whatsoever. As Dave's finish time approached, Kelly's contact from DelMo Sports tracked Ingrid down and told her that if anyone gave her any trouble whatsoever, just to let her know. Ingrid decided that since she would be up there anyway she wanted to put his medal around his neck. She was pretty pleased with herself over how surprised he would be since he had no idea she had ended up volunteering! When Dave had about 10 minutes left according to the app, Ingrid went over with her flag and Dave's medal and stood behind a photographer. She didn't want to get in his way, so she let him know that she was going to go up at a certain point and asked where she could stand so she didn't block his view. His response was peculiar. He said, "That's okay, I'm only taking pictures of certain people." Little did either of them know that she was one of those certain people. When Dave crossed the line he kept going because he was searching for Ingrid in the crowd not realizing she was standing right there so she had to walk after him. Ingrid put the medal around his neck and gave him a hug. Her next plan of action was to put her arm around him and help him walk to the food tent, only before she could do so, she heard Dave yelling, "Ingrid, I have one question for you!" and when she turned around, he was down on one knee with an engagement ring asking, "Will you marry me?" Ingrid was so excited and shocked that her hands were shaking and she had to ask one of the female volunteers which hand the ring went on. When she drove home later that night David made her pinky swear to keep her eyes on the road, not the ring. Ingrid and Dave met on <a href="http://match.com/">Match.com</a> during the summer of 2015 due to their mutual interest in running and cycling. Despite the fact that Dave had a beard, they began emailing each other and dating, and the rest is history!
