David and Leyanne have since shared countless moments of joy, laughter, and adventure. From exploring new destinations to trying different foods at new restaurants, each experience added to their love story. Through the ups and downs, navigating the challenges of a global pandemic and conquering the trials of a long-distance relationship while David pursued a master's degree in Florida, their love only grew stronger.

In November 2023, David asked Leyanne to be his forever and, with tears of joy and hearts full of love, they embraced the next chapter of their story—an engagement that marked the beginning of a lifetime together. David and Leyanne will continue to grow in love as they aspire to travel the world, experience new adventures, and chase their dreams together.

Whelloby is Leyanne's cherished cousin-turned-bridesmaid. They grew up very closely and have been by each other's sides throughout many milestones.

Leyanne admires Whelloby's unwavering positivity and her ability to make anyone laugh with her cute sense of humor.

Michael Papa
As his little brother, Michael has known David his entire life. Growing up, they bonded over movies, anime, and video games. Some things never change, except they both agree that Michael is now the best gamer in the family.

Jocelyn and Leyanne met and bonded over their shared love of clothes and shopping while working at American Eagle almost 10 years ago.

What started as a playful joke about Jocelyn being a Leyanne's bridesmaid has now become a beautiful reality.

Adam Wells
Adam is one of the first friends that David made while working on his MFA in Florida. They have both worked on each other's film sets and like to grab food together. He is an encyclopedia of movies and is (modestly) really athletic.
