Once upon a time—though neither of them can quite agree when—a love story began with a series of hilarious misunderstandings.

According to Dave, they first met at a bar, where they dove into a deep conversation about their dreams and hopes for the future. Unfortunately, Dorina was too tipsy to remember a word of it. Months later, she thought she met Dave for the first time at a house party. They chatted about Tennessee football, and she even gave him her number. That had to be the beginning, right?

From that point on, they awkwardly waved at each other in the halls at work—just enough to make things interesting but not enough to call it progress. Dorina still remembers excitedly telling her friend Kayla, “Oh my God, he’s so cute!” But when Dave didn’t use her number, she assumed he wasn’t interested.

Little did she know, Dave thought she had blown him off that first night at the bar, so he didn’t want to bother her either. (A+ communication skills all around, am I right?)

Fortunately for them, the universe gave them another chance. On one absolutely brilliant Thursday night, their paths crossed again, and this time, the timing was perfect. Sparks flew, conversations flowed, and the rest, as they say, is history.
