Dave and Arianne met in February of 2019 after both swiping right on the dating app Bumble. Ladies have to message first so Arianne messaged Dave asking about good brunch spots in Charleston. They chatted via text for a few days and decided to meet at Fatty’s, a local brewery here in town so they could both bring their dogs. After a few hours and a couple of beers later, they decided to grab dinner at Dave’s favorite Mexican restaurant Santi’s. The date lasted 6 hours and ended with a good night kiss that was 100% initiated by Arianne. The rest as they say is history. As Arianne & Dave approach their 3 year anniversary, they are thrilled to be planning the celebration of the rest of their lives together and can't wait to celebrate it with all of you!
It was early evening on Tuesday, August 24th when Dave asked Arianne if she wanted to take the boat out with their dogs (Bronson & Joey) for a little sunset cruise. As the sun was setting on one of their favorite islands in Charleston, Dave popped the question while they stood waist deep in the water. In true Dave fashion, he purchased and sized the ring in the same day and when presenting Arianne with the ring he opened the box and said "BOOM!" It was a resounding "YES!" from Arianne. The rest of the evening was spent toasting with the champagne Dave had stowed away on the boat and letting friends and family share in the happy news!
