How did your love story begin?

Our story began on a blind date, set up by friends. Michele was not impressed as David wore a cheep polyester suite because he was on-call at his mortuary job. We spent the double-date telling “dead body” jokes, but Michele still agreed to a second date.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

On our honeymoon we took a dinner cruise on the American River, danced, ate, and stared into eachother’s eyes. We didn’t talk much because we were so tired after all the work of the wedding.

What would you do with $20,000?

David wants to take a second honeymoon through the California gold country and Yosemite. Michele wants to travel to reconnect with her family heritage in southern Italy.
