In true Millennial fashion, Dave and Mer swiped right on each other. Dave's bio caught Meredith's attention; the only thing he had written were the lyrics to My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion which she thought was hilarious. There was an instant connection and they haven't not spoken a day since. One weekend early in their relationship Dave bought them tickets to a Saturday Red Sox game and then a Sunday Patriots game, earning him the nickname StubHubby from Meredith's coworkers.

On November 14, 2021 an anxious Dave shot out of bed at 6 AM to surprise Meredith with roses, coffees, and bagels. Meredith instantly thought is today the day? They went for their normal walk around the Charlestown marina. As they turned the corner overlooking the water and Boston skyline, Dave got down on one knee and proposed his love for Meredith asking for her hand in marriage. They kissed, smiled and had to hold back shouting at every person that passed, " WE ARE ENGAGED"!
