Engagement of Susannah Leigh Frick and William David Dozier 3.29.24
On October 26, 2018, amidst the celebration of Brandon and Zoee’s union in Fernandina, our paths intertwined for the first time. Little did we know, fate had more in store for us. Fast forward to December 30, 2023, Fernandina once again bore witness to our encounter, this time amidst the spirited rivalry of the Georgia Florida State bowl game. Dave, a fervent UGA supporter, and Susannah, a staunch Florida State enthusiast, found themselves engrossed in conversation, barely acknowledging the game unfolding before them. As texts flew back and forth, a connection sparked, igniting a flame that would soon engulf us both. In the ensuing days, separated only briefly by the turn of the year, our bond deepened over 80 hours of heartfelt phone conversations. Every intimate detail, every shared aspiration, and every past sorrow laid bare, painting a vivid portrait of our intertwined lives. What emerged from the depths of our connection were revelations both whimsical and profound; from our mutual affinity for Salt and Vinegar Kettle chips to the striking resonance of our thoughts and beliefs. Susannah’s unwavering support and empathetic ear revealed to Dave a longing he hadn’t fully recognized, while Dave’s unwavering devotion to family and Susannah’s magnetic presence unveiled a future brimming with possibility. Through shared experiences and whispered confessions, we uncovered a love so profound, so undeniable, that it transcended the sum of its parts. Our journey together, though swift, unfolded like a fairy tale, reaffirming the timeless adage that when you know, you just know. With each passing moment, our commitment to one another grew stronger, paving the way for a future intertwined with boundless love and shared dreams. As we embark on this new chapter, we extend an invitation to witness our love story culminate in marriage on October 26, 2024. Join us as we embrace the promise of forever, hand in hand, hearts ablaze with passion and purpose. #RighttimeRightplaceRightpersonDozier102624

Matron of Honor
Zoee's Mother and Susannah's Mother were pregnant with us at the same time and friends. Our father's also worked together in education. We call ourselves womb to the tomb sisters. Zoee and her husband Brandon are the reason Dav and Susannah know each other. Dav and Brandon are best friends as Zoee and Susannah are. Dav and Susannah are fortunate enough to share their anniversary. Be sure to wish them a Happy Anniversary on our wedding day.
Maid of Honor
Melissa and Susannah have been best friends for 30 years. Melissa is truly a sister from another mother. It is rare to be in a room without us together. Along with Melissa came her three siblings- twin sister Melinda McDaniel and two older brothers Blair and Bret Oglesby. We are both adopted members of each others families.
Best Man
Jordan is Dav's oldest son of 2 sons and shares Dav's love of all things UGA especially UGA football (sorry Nole fans but I still love you!). Jordan is married to Sidney Johnson, a law school graduate from UGA. Jordan and Sidney have been married since 2016. They share 2 wonderful dogs in Brody and Riley.
Best Man
Mason is Dav's youngest son of 2 sons, like Jordan and Dav, shares love of all things UGA especially UGA football (and yes - I still love my Nole fans). Mason is engaged to be married to Shelby Hanson in 2025. Mason and Shelby have been dating since 2019. They share an awesome dog in Ralphie.
A great place to go walk around and see what Florida's nature has to offer. This is the time of year the Monarch Butterflies migrate to St. Marks, which is a spectacular site to see.
This is where the Rehearsal Dinner is. Great Restaurant that is near and dear to us. Susannah has worked there in some capacity for 28 years since it started.
