I Had the Privilege of meeting David in 2021....We met the old-fashioned way—through mutual friends… at a bar… after college… It was one of those nights you almost didn’t go out, but thanks to divine timing (and maybe a little peer pressure), we ended up in the same place at the same time. We saw each other from across the bar and it was magnetic, i just had to talk to him. Luckily the friend i was with knew him so it gave me the courage to introduce myself (or maybe it was the liquid courage 😅)... From the moment we started talking, something just clicked. I knew immediately that he wasn’t just some guy… he was THE guy. i knew i was going to marry him. So naturally, I panicked and ghosted him. 😬 In my defense, I was in the middle of opening my salon, doing renovations and completely focused on building my dream. I wasn’t ready for a relationship—especially not one that felt this real. But he stayed consistent, kind, and patient… and I couldn’t be more grateful for the way he never gave up on us. A few months later, my salon opened and so did my heart (cheesy, but true). We went on our first official date, We’ve been together ever since, and spoiler alert: I was totally right—he is going to be my husband. -- Mackenzie
