On December 23, 2010, Rebecca Doyle was out celebrating a friend’s birthday when she ran into Richard Weber – a longtime close friend of Katherine Doyle Beahm, Rebecca’s older sister. Rebecca and Richard had fondly known each other for almost two decades when they bumped into each other that December night. However, it was a more intentional kind of meeting the following day on Richard’s part when he showed up at Rebecca’s front door with who once was his, but now is their, adorably sweet and affectionate dog, Bear. Touched by the unique old-fashioned sincerity of the moment, and undoubtedly impressed by the sheer guts and endearing confidence of the man before her, Rebecca simply could not refuse the gesture of this wonderful pair. From that day on, Rebecca went from a party of one to makeshift family of three, for not only did she gain a faithful companion in Bear that early winter day, but she also had the incredible fortune of her soul mate appearing literally at her doorstep. Soon, they became inseparable and were happily dating for nearly two years when Richard decided to pop the question.
On Thanksgiving 2012, Richard told Rebecca that he was most thankful for her and their relationship. Richard then got down on one knee and asked Rebecca to be his wife – to which Rebecca ecstatically replied, “Yes!”
The newly married couple left the day after their wedding for a two-week French Polynesian honeymoon in Taha’a, Bora Bora and Moorea. The couple currently resides in New Orleans where Rebecca is a therapist at Tulane University’s Counseling and Psychological Services and Richard works in commercial real estate at Corporate Realty.
