While neither Lydia nor David remember their first meeting, they can both agree that a camping trip to Mount Charleston in 2018 is where they first took notice of each other. After a trip to Disneyland, co-leading a Bible study at UNLV, plenty of laughs, and struggling to change a flat tire together, David finally worked up the courage to ask Lydia out on November 17th, 2019. After a very awkward first date Lydia broke things off-but she quickly realized the last thing she wanted was for him to not be in her life. They started dating again just two weeks later and the rest is history…

Nothing shows love like trying to surprise your significant other. Which is why on December 10th, 2021, Lydia had planned a surprise birthday dinner for David. Little did she know, David also had a big surprise planned for that evening. After a sushi dinner with friends, the couple made their way to Ethel M's Cactus Gardens. It was there, under the romantic Christmas lights, that David got down on one knee and asked her if he could be her husband. Needless to say, before he could even finish, her answer was a big, happy, “Yes!”
