Stephanie

Back in the summer of 2010, Dave was living in Oklahoma City, but was home for a quick vacation to see his family. Okay, he was really home for the Home Run Derby, but for argument's sake, we will say it was to see his family. Whatever the case, his timing could not have been better. On the Tuesday of his vacation, Dave and his brother, Chris, decided to come into the big city for a night of trivia at Dave's college stomping grounds, Sweetwater Cafe. On this very same night, the Red Sox were on a road trip. This meant that Stephanie had the night off and was going to party on the town. Read: go see Toy Story 3 with another Red Sox coworker and friend. When the movie was over, and because they wanted to reinstate their "grown up" card after crying like children at the movie, Stephanie and her friend decided to mosey on over to her college stomping grounds, Sweetwater Cafe. Do you see where I am going with this yet? Anyway, the bar was packed, and Stephanie and her friend were forced to sit on a fire staircase at the back of the bar with another team. Once settled into trivia, Stephanie and her friends started a conversation with a friendly guy stuck on the stairs with them. After a little while, it became apparent that the guy's brother (in town visiting from Oklahoma) and Stephanie would get along great. At the halftime break, Friendly stair guy introduced Stephanie to his brother, Dave. As predicted, Stephanie and Dave click over a few beers, and vowed to stay in touch via email, chat, and facebook. Despite their crazy schedules and time difference, they chatted for a couple of months, until one day, Dave broke the news that he got a gig reporting sports in Foxboro, MA. He would be moving home. Dave moved back to Massachusetts on September 1, 2010. He had his first date with Stephanie on September 15, and they have been in love ever since. Friendly Stair Guy is the Best Man at their wedding. ~The End~
