Eight years ago in Hillsdale, MI, David let Maggie sit by him when she was late to church. A year passed, and as fate would have it, David and Maggie found themselves on a mission trip together in Detroit. David fell in love then and there, but it took him five years to finally ask her out. They spent the first summer of their relationship writing letters to each other while David worked on a fishing boat in Alaska, and Maggie hiked the Camino in Spain. When they both returned at the end of the summer, they were thrilled to be able to date in person until the onset of the SARs-CoV2 Pandemic forced another brief separation. David proposed shortly thereafter on May 8, 2020. Now they are getting married.
