David and Mary were married in the Lewis' backyard with immediate family on their original wedding date. We were planning for a celebration of marriage on October 9th, 2021, but have made the difficult decision to cancel.

David and Mary first met at the gym in Harrogate, TN (because there's nothing else to do in Harrogate, TN). David thought Mary was just being friendly, asking him to do an ab workout with her, but she was trying to flirt (to no avail). Then on their first day in Memphis for their clinical rotations, Mary saw that David was eating lunch alone. Instead of eating with her friends, she decided to sit and eat lunch with him. David assumed this, like the time at the gym, was out of pity despite how well they got along. Fast forward to Mary and David's last year of medical school in Memphis. Mary was on a family medicine rotation with Farai, Mary and David's mutual friend, who repeatedly encouraged Mary to ask David out. Farai said "I bet he'd watch soccer with you". Mary and David watched Liverpool tie Leicester and continued their first date for 7 hours.

Mary and David were watching bad TV on David's couch in Ohio wearing sweatpants and T-shirts. David stood up, turned on our song on his record player, and said he would work every day for the rest of his life to be the best he can be. He got down on one knee and asked Mary to spend the rest of their lives together. Mary couldn't see the ring because she was crying so hard but she managed to squeak out a yes.
