David and Mimi met at Ivar's Spots Bar and Grill in the fall of 2017. David and his friends were playing "Chicago Dice." Mimi, who is competitive by nature and always up for a challenge, asked if she could join in, and that's where their friendship began. In January of 2018, David "waved" at Mimi via Facebook Messenger. They first began messaging, then texting, and finally David asked Mimi out on a real date. The rest is history, as the two have been inseparable ever since. It was five months after their first date, in the parking lot of Winn-Dixie, when David told Mimi, "I think you are my soulmate." David proposed in October of 2020 surrounded by family and friends at the place where they had their first date, Ruffino's Italian Restaurant.
