DAVID + ANGITA = DAVIDANGITA
DAVIDANGITA is our names combined into one, as simple as that. But what makes it special to us is that the word ‘dan‘ in Bahasa Indonesia, which means ‘and’, being naturally embedded in it. And that’s exactly how we feel about us together – natural and meant to be. DAVIDANGITA.
We met in 2006, freshman year of university. It all started right from the first sight to series of late night/early morning MSN chats (yes, we did mourn over the shutting down of MSN!), and everything else in between. We got closer over tennis games on Saturday mornings, despite the fact that we played on opposite teams and spent more time picking up those green balls than hitting them. It was such a shame that it didn’t last for long, as we did our 2 friends a favour by quitting and letting them play tennis for real in the next semester, ha!
We had our first non-canteen meal together in a small café on campus. Both of us agreed it was great. What we didn’t acknowledge though, was that it wasn’t about the food – it was the date :) We also bonded over discussions we had on chemical bonds (pun intended :p). Rather unsurprisingly, our mutual geekiness rendered us more time spent together in the library than anywhere else during those first few months we knew each other.
We officially got together on a certain Tuesday afternoon in January 2007. It was week 1 of the 2nd semester, when the tutorials hadn’t commenced yet, so we found time for a movie on a weekday afternoon at the nearest cinema. ‘Blood Diamond‘ was far from a romantic movie, but it was after this movie that we held hands for the first time. And we’ve never looked back since. True enough, some five years after we watched that movie, a diamond does end up on the left ring finger of one of us. Well, the proposal wasn’t all that bloody at all, but that’s another story on the next page.
Love,
DAVIDANGITA
we're tying the knot!
