How We Met

Doing things our way!

Dave and Candice met in 2004 through a mutual person. After living separate lives but keeping in touch, in 2008 they decided to go out. Dave picked Candice up on his motorcycle. They decided on the bowling alley close to Candice's house. After a few rounds of bowling, they decided to grab something to eat at the bowling alley. The menu was so limited that the first meal they shared was hamburgers on bread! The bowling alley didn't have cheese, buns, or fries but it was the best first date meal Candice ever had! Not wanting the date to end, Dave and Candice decided to go for a little bike ride. Dave got lost and they ended up on the wrong side of town! (There may or may not have had gun shots in the distance!) They pulled over at the nearest gas station to get directions. From that night on, Dave and Candice were inseparable. Dave worked a lot but Candice met him every chance she got for late night dinners. Dave joined Candice and her sister, Heather, out for a night at the Pub. According to Dave, Candice drove like a maniac while Heather painted her nails in the back seat all while racing a train and driving on the opposite side of the road! (Dave has always been an exaggerator!) Candice and Heather have yet to confirm or deny these allegations! Dave and Candice continued getting to know one another through dinners, motorcycle rides, and talks on the phone. Unfortunately, Candice had to make a hard decision. Her family had planned to move to North Carolina two months after Dave and Candice started dating. Candice had already quit her job and was ready to move with her family, but she felt like she needed to give this relationship more time. Dave offered Candice to move in with him for a bit. Candice got a new job, moved in with Dave....and the rest is history! Candice did not move out like planned, instead they both moved out of the basement apartment into a house in New Jersey. Not long after, Dave and Candice got engaged. They have planned 3 weddings in the years that they have been engaged. As they say, three times the charm!
