We’ve waited 2,920 days for this.

Dave and I both attended the University of Rio Grande long ago, in the before time. My first memory of him is like something out of a movie: I'm walking out of my dorm, and I look up, and he just jumps into the frame with a big smile on his face, arms outstretched as if to say, "Tah-dah! I'm here!" We were both dating other people at the time, so it wasn't until many years later that our paths crossed again. I had come back to Rio Grande for College: Round Two, and I posted something on Facebook like, "Only in Rio Grande can you go through a brew thru, order a sixer, and receive six individual cans in a paper bag." (It's true. This has never happened to me before or since.) His roommate, Will, saw that I was in town, and after only hearing of Dave as "my roommate" for a few weeks, we finally met up again. It didn't take long for us to see that we were meant for each other. It did, however, take about 2,920 days to get ready for this wedding. So get ready to celebrate, folks! It has been many years in the making, and we would be thrilled to see you there!
