Dana and Victor first locked eyes in the fall of 2013 when an introduction was made by their mutual friend Sopeary. Initially dubious of her choice of aggressive footwear on a night out, ("Who wears combat boots to the club?" he inquired), he requested her number anyway.

Four months, and many nights out, later they went on their first date. Meticulously researched by Vic for vegetarian options for her, he brazenly ordered the lamb that night without an extra thought. Why would he date someone who dictated what he ate? It was a match! In this case, opposites did attract.

After eight years (with a break in between), they've struck a harmonious balance with their interests. Victor still detests hiking but has come around to car camping, and Dana watches the occasional "sportsball" game. He now curates her shoe choices, although he has encouraged her to keep the Doc Marten's for old time's sake. They share a happy home that revolves around their Shiba Inu, Kuma.

We are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together, and can't wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people!
