One important dessert brought us together so many years ago-- ice cream! We both worked a part-time job at Maggie Moo's in Williamsburg and it didn't take long before we became good friends. Over the course of six more years, we stayed in touch and eventually made plans to go on our first date. The rest is history!
For several years, we would make a holiday trip to Lewis Ginter's Festival of Lights to see the gorgeous botanical garden all lit up. In 2020, David suggested the idea of a double date there with his sister Sarah and her boyfriend Daniel. We traipsed around the gardens for a while until someone suggested we take a photo together by the lake. During the brief photo shoot, David took Emily completely by surprise and popped the question. The answer was an ecstatic "yes!"
