Myrtle Beach, SC- That was the place where it all started. Both David and I were living at the beach after college. I was a bartender deciding on how to launch my spa career, and David had just been transferred to Myrtle, working as a territory manager for an oil company. He didn't know anyone in the area, so a college buddy of his, who also knew me, gave him my phone number. (Big Thanks Greg!) Turns out both David and I graduated from the same university and didn't know it...UNC-Wilmington. David called and I invited him up to Shuckers where I was working. We hit it off and started having a fun time dating. But being young and wanting to move around the country and chase a career, I ended up moving to Florida and we went our separate ways. Through the years both David and I were in and out of relationships looking for our "soul"mate but nothing felt truly right. Fast forward 20 years and thanks to Facebook, David found me and reached out. I told him I'd be down at the beach in a little over a month, so we planned to meet up again. We met at Twin Lakes Restaurant, and sparks flew. We caught up on old times, realized neither one of us had married or had kids yet...and in later dates revealed to each other that we were each other's "one that got away." They say if it's meant to be it will come back around. Well, we did and we realize how God's hand was in this all along. So when the New Year's Eve ball dropped, David proposed and we started 2018 with a bang. With a lot of laughter, gratitude, happiness, faith and love, David and I are starting our biggest adventure yet- marriage. And we're so happy you're joining us to celebrate our wedding on May 5...see you at the beach!
