August 1, 2019: Shoutout Hinge (online dating app) for bringing the couple together - David and Marin went on their first date to the Thai restaurant Spice, in Long Island City, where they stayed till closing time. A few days later, David thought Marin was ghosting him when she got locked out of her apartment without her phone for about 6 hours. After explaining the mishap, David asked to go on their second date the following week (before Marin left for a 2-week trip to Australia!). November 1, 2019: After dating for a few months and a Halloween weekend night out with his friends from home, David asked Marin to officially be his girlfriend. She sleepily said yes. Later that month, Marin would go back to Cresskill with David for Thanksgiving and to meet his family for the first time! February 14, 2020: David would meet Marin’s parents on a cold, cold trip to Vermont for Valentine’s Day weekend. March 14, 2020: Covid hit NYC and cancelled Marin and David’s plans to see a Broadway show they won lottery tickets for. A couple weeks later, the couple rented a car and escaped the city down to Seaside Park, NJ to live in David’s family’s beach house for about a month. They then went to their respective homes until Marin came back to the city in June. June 3, 2020: Maisie’s gotcha day! Marin and David become dog parents, well Marin hoped David would become Maisie’s permanent dog dad. August 1, 2022: Marin and David move in together in Long Island City! October 13, 2023: David proposes while visiting Marin’s parents in Vermont. They took a gondola ride up to the top of Stowe mountain where he proposed whilst the couple was alone on a viewing platform. The couple’s mutual enjoyment for travel and being outdoors has brought them so far to 27 different states (outside the Tristate area), 9 countries, and 15 National Parks, with many more trips to come - like a 14-day Alaskan cruise after the wedding to celebrate their 30th birthdays.

We can't wait for you all to join us in Colorado and help celebrate the start of our next adventure! We hope Colorado and all it has to offer brings as much joy and fun as it has for us. David, Maisie and I plan to head out there early to enjoy some hiking and relaxing before the weekend festivities and if you plan to come out early too let us know. We look forward to this time with our friends and family and thank you in advance for all your love and support!
