We're Getting Married

Dave and Vanna met at a meditation retreat in Boston. Dave spent the rest of the weekend trying however he could to talk to Vanna, while she diligently focused on the intensive they were there to participate in. Eventually, he mustered up the courage to ask for her phone number, and later took her out on what became the best first date ever — sipping hot cider and chais in the cool evening autumn air at the Jamaica Plain Lantern Festival. They ended up walking for hours, covering the entire city of Boston while getting to know each other. The rest was history. After 3 wonderful years in Boston, together they moved to San Diego where Vanna began her doctoral studies. The two opened their fertility and relationship clinic, Purnima, in 2024. Shortly before opening, while the clinic was empty except for a beautiful golden Ganesh, Dave proposed to Vanna on the eve of her 29th birthday. In the candlelight and surrounded by hundreds of roses, she said "YES!" Vanna and Dave have dreamed of gathering with their dear friends and family to celebrate their love for years, and are so looking forward to celebrating with each and every one of you.
