A long, long, time ago, at Agincourt Collegiate, Dave & Dee met - two grade 9 teenagers starting a struggle through high school. They didn't care for each other much at first but started getting to know each other a few years later. The friendship bloomed quickly from there, and in grade 12, they started a relationship.

This relationship would prove to be lasting and they celebrated graduation together; having a great prom, and hoping that this high school sweet heart relationship would last.

They survived school separation as Dave went to Humber College and completed a degree in Architectural Technology, and Dee went to the University of Toronto. They survived lifestyle separation as Dave went to work full time and Deirdre was still completing her Bachelors of Business Administration. It helped quite a bit that their parents lived a 5 minute walk from each other.

In the summer of 2002, they found an odd little cat. Dee liked this strange cat and started feeding her, hoping to one day keep her - on Christmas day 2002, her parents finally gave in and "Sheeba" became Dee & Dave's daughter. In March, 2003, Dave and Dee were presented with grand-kittens and now have a rather large feline family (Alphie, Chobie & Amber).

 

Over the years, Dee & Dave have learned to do many things together that keep their relationship strong. They play volleyball, they white water raft, and they have a great time playing various board games. Mostly though, Dee's ability to play and love golf has kept Dave a very happy man.

In July of 2007, Dave and Dee bought a house & they spent a bit to renovate things (and the renovations continue on to this day) to make a home for themselves and a life together.

On February 29, 2008, Dave & Dee had invited their families to a dinner at the Old Scott House in Scarborough - under the guise of having our families sit down and meet as no formal 'introduction' of family to family had really ever been made. It was an interesting day, with a horrible snowstorm, but thankfully everyone arrived safe and sound, though a few hours late. Once everyone was there, Dee walked into the room, followed by an officiate and Dave & Dee said 'surprise!' - and got married.

  

They went on a honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dee came back and moved into their house and now…they live (mostly) happily together. Except, they both realize while they didn't want all that wedding hoopla - a party would still be pretty awesome, and thus…here we are today.
