Okay so picture this: boring engineering major, living at home, studying way too much. Where else would a college kid turn to in order to meet someone? Tinder here I come!

I guess I had a revelation that it was time for me to start enjoying my college years, and what better way to start than to attend a frat party? Well, it wasn’t actually a frat party. It was a Daniel pickup line (through Tinder) that went a little like “what do I have to do to get you in those daisy dukes of yours on a date?” and ended with a 3 hour date at Chipotle.

As we talked (actually, mostly I talked), everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, showed up at this Chipotle. Everyone seemed to know Daniel. It was honestly fun to feel like I was in college - in this Chipotle, with all these people from FAU, that was something I had never experienced commuting back and forth from Wellington to Boca. Then, I see this guy in line pointing his phone towards us at our table. *Insert Winston*. Winston managed to capture our first date on a Snapchat - as a joke - glad we still have that memory. They said it would never last!

The highlight of the first date was definitely the end. Daniel didn’t know I already stalked him and knew he drove some little souped up car. So, he walked me to my truck, said our goodbyes, and he watched as I drove off until doing the walk of shame to his car.

Andddd it was history. Nonstop talking. Sushi and Chipotle dates. Nights at The Cove. Sundays at Lake Boca. And finally, college parties at the Pimp Plaza. Oh, and did I mention he got a truck?

We started officially dating November 22, 2018. Daniel was my person. He shared similar goals and mindsets as myself. He was my number one support system. We became inseparable and I quickly realized with him I would find my forever. To this day, what we have accomplished blows my mind.

Daniel is the hardest working man I know and will always go out of his way to push toward his/our goals. He is my favorite person to hang out with - whether it be just joking around at home, drinks and live music at a bar on the water on a Saturday, in the middle of a mud hole, or wherever our adventures take us.

I could not imagine building a life with anyone else.

Oh, what would 20-year-old me think if I knew I’d be marrying this man. But who am I kidding, she knew from the start that Daniel was the one and I can't wait to continue to build this life with him in this next chapter.

Cheers to forever!
