Gavin and Sylvia both served in the California Santa Rosa Mission, often in the same vicinity, but never had an opportunity to really get to know each other. They finished their missions together in November 2021, and in August 2022 Sylvia moved out to Utah to attend BYU, which Gavin quickly chose to capitalize on when he found out she has good taste in music. Their first date was a 70s-themed roller skate night, where they were both severely disappointed that most of the music they played was actually 60s and 80s. On behalf of his cute date, Gavin requested David Bowie from the DJ 3 separate times. The DJ was a terrible wingman and did not oblige. As Gavin drove Sylvia back to her apartment, he handed her the music controls and she played her favorite Bowie songs (which happened to be core memory songs for Gavin as well). The rest is music history.
