Daniel and Larissa first matched online while Larissa was traveling to Nashville for an animal rescue shoot (surprise, surprise.) Larissa originally swiped right on Daniel after falling for his beautiful smile and the fact that his profile said he was a songwriter and liked good wine! Larissa was smitten!

Unfortunately, Larissa received the match alert while sitting in the airport waiting to board the plane to return to Los Angeles. But that didn't stop her from sending a message! She told Daniel that while she lived in LA, she was looking to spend more time in Nashville, as the current Hallmark Channel television show she worked on was coming to an end (which she expressed she wasn't too happy about!)

PS-Little did Larissa know that Daniel's mom worked for Hallmark (THAT was an embarrassing moment!)

The two continued talking online for a couple weeks, before moving their discussions to Facetime. Those quick Facetime calls quickly became hours-long, wine drinking sessions where the two discussed everything from favorite foods, innermost secrets, likes & dislikes....and HOUSE SLIPPERS? That's a story for another time...

Larissa's Hallmark Channel show ended in April of 2021 and on June 2nd, she flew to Nashville for a month-long adventure. Not wanting to seem too eager, Larissa made Daniel wait until June 3rd for their first official "in person" date!

Exactly three years later, as Larissa sits here writing this story in third person (I'm not sure why-it seemed fancier,) they have a 9-month old daughter and are busy planning a wedding....so clearly things went well!

Larissa and Daniel can't wait to share their love and happiness with you in October and hope you are ready to drink some good wine, have some good fun and dance to some good beats!!! See you soon!!!
