ALUMNI NOTES Chapel of Love
The connections made at St. Edward’s University are lifelong, especially for the couples who say “I do” at Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel. We asked two couples to share how they met and why the chapel is special to them.

STAN
APRIL 28, 2001
Stan and Danica Dailey Frampton ’86, MAHS ’94, who is the director of Institutional Research at St. Edward’s, met through mutual friends.
Danica: Stan worked with two of my former classmates at the Texas Department of Economic Development. Philip Rocha ’87, whom I met as an undergrad, told him about me, and my friend from graduate school, Victoria Jacques MAHS ’92, said she had someone I needed to meet. Vicki introduced us over lunch at Guero’s Taco Bar, and Stan and I had our first date two days later. Stan: After that lunch, I told Phil, “I’m going to marry that girl.” Danica: The chapel has always been a part of my life. My mom (faculty emerita Virginia Dailey) taught at St. Edward's, and I, along with six of my siblings, are graduates. There’s no question about where we wanted to get married. It’s the place I had attended baptisms, weddings, funerals and confirmations. Stan: I grew up Southern Baptist but converted to Catholicism, and the chapel is where I got confirmed. I considered it “my chapel” from that point on. Danica: To us, the chapel felt like coming home to a big embrace.
