Leah and Dave first met when they were sixteen, introduced by mutual friends at a high school basketball game. It was one of those well-intentioned setups, but neither of them said more than a few words to each other. Life moved on, and so did they. Four years later, fate (and a university transfer) brought them back together. Dave had just arrived at New Mexico State University and reached out to Leah, asking if she could show him around. She agreed and their first official date was at the local frozen custard spot, Caliche’s. Sitting on the tailgate of his truck, sharing ice cream and conversation under a starry night sky, something clicked. That simple evening turned into something lasting. Over time, Leah and Dave not only built a relationship but also built careers in the same field, both becoming civil engineers. After five years together, Dave proposed at the breathtaking Allerton Gardens in Hawaii. From high school acquaintances to college sweethearts to soon-to-be husband and wife, they’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you.
