Deanna and Douglas met at a National Funeral Director Association convention in Indianapolis, IN both working for the same company selling caskets but in different states, Maryland and Kentucky. After a period of long-distance lovin', the stars aligned and Deanna was able to relocate to Louisville, KY. Doug proposed on August 7, 2018 at one of Louisville's must-see landmarks, the Big 4 Bridge, which happens to be one of the first places Doug took Deanna to convince her there was more than just bluegrass in Kentucky.
