Looking for "the one" is rough.

Keeping the emunah/faith while having the patience to sit through another awkward meal or cup of coffee, quite simply is the worst.

After being set up through friends and shadchanim/matchmakers and coming up short, Daniel and Esti Leah each set up profiles with sawyouatsinai.com- a matchmaking website for Jewish singles, and the stars finally started to align.

Both mutually approved the other, and so goes the first part of the story. After many skype/zoom and finally in person meetings, it felt far from another awkward coffee date. It felt like being introduced to someone you already knew.

"It is said that before each of us was created, we were one big soul. Forty days before our conception, G‑d took our "big soul" in His hands and he split it into two pieces. The work of finding our soul mate is finding our missing half."

It was clear that they found their missing halves.

So, on Kaph Vav Sivan/June 18th, Daniel surprised Esti Leah with a trip to the roof of a good friend's building. With a single white rose (her favorite) he asked her to marry him. SHE SAID YES. Shortly thereafter they made their trip to Ohel Lubavitch where they asked for a brocha for their engagement.

Tes Tamuz/July 1st, marked their L'chaim, where the engagement was sealed with a kinyan/pact and the breaking of the plate and they officially became CHOSSON & KALLAH!
