Wedding Date June 26, 2019 Occupations Wendy is the director of engagement and marketing at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, while David works as a consultant for real estate and construction companies. Crossed Paths The couple met at The Pinhook almost three years ago during a Sunday concert with Mitski, Japanese Breakfast and Jay Som. Wendy remembers spotting David across the room and, she says, “hearts immediately began pumping out of my eyes,” like in a cartoon. David had been looking forward to the show for some time, but he missed most of it, distracted and enthused by his conversation with Wendy. He asked her out the next weekend, and they have been together ever since. The Proposal Technically, David proposed to Wendy two years ago in a town outside of Asheville. But before getting married, they wanted to focus on building a new addition to their home in Duke Park. Recently, six of their friends mentioned Hamilton Hill Jewelry. So they stopped in, thinking nothing of it, and came out with the perfect ring. Now, “I Do” Elizabeth Craig at Salon Do or Dye and Laurie Cutler at Rock Paper Scissors Salon and Gallery will help style their looks for the big day, exactly three years from when they met. Wendy and David plan to get married at the Durham County Courthouse and celebrate with pizza delivery in the comfort of their home.
