Our Story

Sometimes love finds you in the most unexpected ways. For Daniel and Michaela, it all started when Michaela let Tyler, her friend's husband, pick her next match on the dating app Bumble. She had no idea that one simple swipe would change her life forever.


Their first date was at Pie Tap Pizza, and from the moment they sat down, everything just clicked. They talked and laughed like old friends, and by the end of the night, both of them knew this was something special.

On their third date, something happened that would become legendary in their relationship. They got into a loud, heated argument about whether Kirk Cousins was one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL. To anyone watching, it probably looked like they were breaking up, but for Daniel and Michaela, this was exactly what they loved most—debating about things like football with pure passion. This moment was huge for them because they realized they could argue and have fun without worrying about hurting each other's feelings. They had found someone who could keep up with their energy.


As they fell deeper in love, their lives started coming together perfectly. Daniel had his dog Barry, and Michaela had Mr. Finn. These two dogs became the center of their world. They loved taking them to parks on weekends and spoiling them with way too many toys, but they didn't care—their dogs brought them so much joy.

When it came time for their first vacation together, they chose Hotel Xcaret Arte in Mexico. Walking around the beautiful resort, surrounded by amazing art and scenery, they both started thinking the same thing: "Wouldn't it be incredible to get married here?" The idea felt so right that it stuck with them.


Their relationship kept growing stronger. They bought a house together, making a real home for themselves, Mr. Finn, and Barry. They even went back to Hotel Xcaret Arte for a second vacation, and being there again just confirmed how special that place was to them.


When Michaela won the Presidents Club award at work, which came with a trip to Portugal, they decided to extend their travels through Switzerland and Italy. On a gorgeous farm in Tuscany, with rolling hills all around them, Daniel got down on one knee and asked Michaela to marry him. It was perfect—romantic and intimate, just the two of them in one of the most beautiful places on earth.


When they started planning their wedding, they looked at venues near their home. Everything seemed okay, but nothing felt amazing or special. Then one night, while sharing a glass of wine, they asked each other: "Where would our dream wedding be?" Without missing a beat, they both said the same thing—Hotel Xcaret Arte. The place where they first imagined getting married was calling them back.


Now, as they get ready to say "I do" in the exact place where their wedding dreams began, Daniel and Michaela's story shows us that love can come from the most unexpected places, and sometimes the best things happen when you let your heart lead the way.
