Danielle Keele & David DeAngelis

Our Story

ITS A LONG STORY!!! Dave and I first met in 2001 at my church in Tallmadge Ohio. Dave already knew my mom and my sister from previous church retreats they had attended together. Dave was going to school at The University of Akron, and became close with my family during his time there. His first semester there, he became a part of my family. Tagging along for every dinner, party and event. Then during his second semester, financial hardships forced him to move away from the dorms, so my family welcomed him into our home with open arms :-) For so long he was the perfect addition to our family. He and I were best friends. Right before he left to go home to Michigan for the summer, our relationship developed to a level that we were not prepared to handle at the time, so we went our seperate ways. For two years we barely spoke. We both became involved in serious relationships during this time. Then, by divine purpose, we met again in 2004. The moment we steped back into each others lives we were inseperable. Our connection rekindled as though no time had passed at all. He encouraged me to get out of a relationship that was no longer serving me, and before we knew it, there was no turning back. We've had several bumps along the way, including a hard seperation in 2005, but as challanges always do, in the end they made us stronger individuals and put us in a better position to meet the needs of each other. In 2007 we bought our first home! A cute little house in Columbus, Ohio that we flipped. That house was our baby. We litterally our blood sweat and tears into it. But we were forced to move when our humble home was violently broken into... twice... in three weeks. Right now we in transitioning into a new home and are looking forward to our new exciting life as man and wife, and later on as co-ministers of our own Unity church :-)
