Neither of us planned on going to San Jose State's Homecoming Tailgate, but somehow my friends convinced me to call in sick to work and David decided to put the guitar down for the day. We met through mutual friends and spent the day together like we had known each other for years. He told me he wasn't looking for anything serious, but obviously I ignored him. Since that very first day David has kept me laughing uncontrollably and singing all his lyrics. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

August 8, 2020 would mark five years together. In the early days of quarantine I finally came to my senses and knew I wanted Mar to wake up engaged on our anniversary. With help from two of our closest friends, I planned a road trip to Park City, Utah. On the 7th she was surprised with a few stops in Zion National Park, including a hike through The Narrows and a stay at Under Canvas Zion. Under the Milky Way and a sky full of stars, I asked my best friend to marry me and she woke up as a fiancée on our anniversary.
