David and I first met at VKF in 2015, where we were just two coworkers trying to adjust to our new jobs in a new place. In 2018, we got assigned to the same project and quickly realized we made a pretty great team. We spent countless hours side by side, testing, troubleshooting, and building trust. We worked so well together that the office rumor mill decided we had to be dating — though at the time, we were just laughing it off.

As the projects piled up, so did the conversations. Soon, he became the person I vented to about deadlines, and talked to every single day. Somewhere between the VBA macros, model buyoffs, and endless chats, friendship turned into something more.

What started as “just coworkers” became “work married,” and now it’s “married for life.” We’re still not sure if the rumor mill saw it coming before we did, but we’re glad they were onto something.
