Who’s Who
David & Julia
A love that belongs on the silver screen
David and Julia met at EKU and became best friends. They’re self-described goofballs who love being silly together. “When my wife and I are in the same room, you know laughter will be coming your way,” David said. He said that their love is more than quirkiness and fun, though. “Love is something that is very serious and heartfelt. That is what my wife and I have,” David explained. “It’s not quite that same old sappy love story that is always portrayed in movies, but it is a true selfless caring for each other.” Their first date was truly magical. The couple flew a small plane over Cincinnati to Historic Lunken Airport. One of their friends dressed as a chauffeur and drove them to a surprise picnic at Ault Park, full of lush gardens and beautiful architecture that set a totally romantic scene. They flew back home as the sun set.
Topping a night like that would be tricky, David knew. David entered a contest to win an engagement ring from Rivard’s Fine Jewelers. When he won, he filmed a commercial in which he proposed to Julia. He took Julia out to the Movie Tavern. Julia was under the impression that she would just be seeing the finale of “The Bachelorette”, but she got so much more! David’s commercial aired on the big screen, and he surprised Julia with the ring. To make it even more magical, the local news was there to film the entire event and it became the night’s Top News Story, replaying their surprise proposal for everyone to see. “How many ‘Chick Flicks’ and love stories out there are actually true,” David asked. In the case of this couple, at least one!
