How they met, in Cynthia’s words:
”Dave and I both attended UMBC when we first met; Dave was a Junior and I was a Sophomore. As a commuter, Dave spent most of his time in the student org or in the commons building waiting for classes. I had just moved into my new dorm building and I was getting to know my new hallmates (one of them being Chris, aka Dave's best man). This was the second week of school starting and our hall was really getting along and doing activities together almost every night from dressing up for Fancy Fridays to deciding on a Dance Party Thursday. Chris decided to invite Dave to join us since Dave had no plans and was waiting for traffic to die down before going home. Chris introduced Dave to the rest of the hall and I remember my first impression of Dave was that he was an easy going guy. At the time, the song for Gangnam Style was very popular so our hall wanted to spontaneously recreate the music video. We even prepped outfits, camera, accessories, and practiced the dance! Dave was now considered a friend of the entire hall so he started coming more often to hang out and we added each other on Facebook and started to chat. After a few weeks of talking and hanging out frequently, we started dating and 7 years later here we are…
Fun fact: we are still close friends with the people from Harbor Hall! Chris is now Dave's best man and two of my bridesmaids are the two girls I lived across from in Harbor Hall. We have all been friends the same amount of time Dave and I have been together. :)"
