Our story spans several continents, countries, and states, starting in Austria! We met during Franciscan University's study abroad program in Gaming, Austria, where we got to know each other through travels, mutual friends, and a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Eight days before the semester ended we started dating, and quickly got used to being long distance as David hiked the Camino and Rebecca moved back home to Virginia. After a year of many phone calls, FaceTime dates, and trips between Steubenville, OH (where Rebecca was in school) and Arizona (where David lived), we embarked on a cross country road trip to move Rebecca to Arizona. Halfway through our trip we realized that it was the most days in a row we had ever spent together. Finally, long distance was over! On August 5, 2023, David proposed and surprised Rebecca with a visit from friends and family. We know our story is just getting started and the Lord still has many incredible things planned for us. Thank you for being a part of our lives as we enter into the Sacrament of Matrimony and explore what God is calling us to next!
