They met on Hinge. "Is that the Mackinac bridge?" he asked her about one of her photos, thinking "there's no way; it's just any other bridge". "It IS!" she responded (one week later...) and the rest was history!

They met at one of their favorite breweries (New Terrain). "Wow, I feel like you're my best friend that I haven't seen in 26 years!" they both thought.

Within a month they had hiked a 14er together and backpacked. One month later they went to Michigan (for his brother Drew's wedding!) and saw the bridge that brought them together in person. The next month Lexi left Dave alone for Thanksgiving and, one delusional covid booster shot later, along came Rodeo!

Lots of hikes, bikes, backpacks, and skiing trips later...

Their 2nd anniversary they bought their home together, and their wedding will be a celebration of their 3rd anniversary and marriage union!
