Our Story
First meet
In December 2020, David and Vicki crossed paths at the Carrico Building. As David entered the building, he nearly knocked over Vicki's ladder and art equipment while she was working on a mural on the door. This amusing encounter marked the beginning of their connection, amidst transitions in their lives.
First kiss
Their story continued to unfold in February 2021, marked by memorable dates. On their third date, which happened to be Valentine's Day, David and Vicki shared their first kiss, a heartfelt moment that marked the beginning of their beautiful journey together.
First "I love you"
Their first "I love you" moment unfolded at a cozy restaurant on the Port Tobacco River, just after the school year had ended. Though the debate lingers on who said it first, that evening marked the beginning of a deeper connection that neither of them could deny.
Living together
In September 2022, David and Vicki took a significant step in their journey by moving in together at Bovello Farm, the very place where their wedding will take place. This decision was a natural progression, as David had already spent considerable time there with Vicki, and it felt like the perfect next step in their relationship.
Proposal
On a rainy July 1st, 2023, David had big plans to propose on the same dock where they will exchange vows. Despite concerns about the rain, he was determined to make the moment special. As the sun set, David's heartfelt proposal added another chapter to their love story, amidst the backdrop of raindrops and the promise of a beautiful future together.
Wedding Day
Surrounded by the serene waters of Southern Maryland, David and Vicki exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony on November 4, 2023. The autumn leaves painted a perfect scene as they celebrated their union with loved ones, where every detail echoed their shared passions and the depth of their bond. It was not just a joining of two lives, but a festive gathering that mirrored the warmth and joy they bring to each other’s hearts.
Groom
David Fields
David, a Southern Maryland native, returned to his roots in 2017 after exploring different parts of the area. Driven by a passion for providing innovative solutions, he became a professional in the fields of product development and software engineering.
