They met at work in the operating room in 2017. Neither of them were looking for a relationship, but Maggie thought Dave was cute and figured she’d get him to like her back. She was patient and before long they fell in love.

Dave proposed to Maggie on the 4th of July while camping, which is one of their favorite things to do together. They were hunkered down in the tent during a rain storm & Dave was acting restless, which Maggie thought was weird, but no weirder than Dave being Dave. While he was rooting around in his backpack, Maggie made a crude joke, which is Maggie being Maggie. Short story made long, Dave presented Maggie with his grandma Davies’ wedding ring & she said “YES!” immediately regretting the crude joke. A new house and puppy in 2020 were just icing on their future wedding cake.
