It all began in March 2022 at a lively beach bar in Santa Monica called Big Dean’s. Britney had gone to meet her friend Jill, who was dating Austin—a friend of Dave’s. Fate clearly had a plan, because the moment Britney and Dave locked eyes across the bar, something just clicked. Dave walked over to introduce himself, and the rest of the night played out like a scene from a rom-com: bar hopping along the coast, a first kiss at The Whaler, and a midnight phone call to Britney’s grandparents. From that night on, they were inseparable. Their first official date was a beachside picnic, complete with a homemade charcuterie board Dave had crafted himself. It quickly became their signature—salami, cheese, crackers, pepper jelly, and a whole lot of laughter. Their relationship blossomed over dog park hangouts (with Jeter and Penny - of course!), rooftop dinners, concerts, and cozy staycations. Just three months later, overlooking the ocean in Malibu (and yes, with another charcuterie board), Dave asked Britney to be his girlfriend. Fast forward to October 2024, on the sun-drenched shores of Maui, the day before Britney’s birthday—Dave asked another question. This time, it came with a ring. Now, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of their story with all of you!
