Daniel and I met while we both worked at Mission: Space at Epcot. We had fun conversations and some unusual moments (like me calling 911 for Daniel). But everything changed in the Fall of 2020 when we started talking a lot more and really getting to know each other.
We clicked so well immediately. I was so fond of Daniel’s kindness and empathy, his humor, and we had so much fun with each other. I remember telling my friend Fawn very early on “I’m going to fall in love with this person”. Fawn’s response was “Good. I hope they’re the one”.
Our first date was at Epcot during Festival of the Holidays. On January 20th, 2021 Daniel asked me to be his girlfriend at SeaWorld after meeting an adorable penguin named Kermit. Soon after, I told Daniel I love him. Can I just brag for a minute? I knew Daniel was the one from the very beginning. He's so wonderful, loving, and kind and I'm so fortunate to have a partner like him.
After three wonderful years of dating, Daniel proposed while we were in England on April 3, 2024. While on a walk through the countryside in the Cotswolds, we stopped on a beautiful bridge over the river, where I made Daniel take a bunch of photos not realizing he was trying to propose. It was perfect. And it was the easiest choice I’ve ever made.
Paige and I met when we were working at Mission: Space back in 2019. We didn’t have too many interactions at first, some small talk between coworkers. Then I had a fun experience of getting to ask Paige to call me an ambulance due to a super cool kidney stone. After Disney had opened back up during 2020 is when we really started talking and I was smitten.
I one day talking to one of my groomsman Coyle about how great I thought she was and how she deserved great things to happen to her. I looked at him and said “I think I have a crush on her” which he replied “You think?” and from there I couldn’t get her off my mind. I even couldn’t stop talking about her when I went back to Oklahoma to visit my family.
I just loved how easy it was to talk to her, how deeply she loved and cared for her loved ones. We shared so many things in common and could talk for hours about movies, TV shows and franchises we adore. Sharing theories and hatred for Reylo (Kylo and Ren shipping, big thumbs down). Paige listens to me when I don’t stop talking about music and other hyper fixations I have. She truly loves me and I’ve never felt more loved and appreciated by anyone in my life than I do by Paige. And I love her just as much. She truly is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.
So I decided, after 3 years of happiness, to put a ring on her finger and make her my wife. We (Paige) planned an amazing trip to England in April of 2024. It was our first really big trip together and I knew this would be a perfect place. I had a plan that while we were in the country side in one of the cute little villages I would propose over one of the bridges. Turns out this village is more of a tourist spot than I originally thought (thanks Google) and there were too many people. Luckily I was able to make an audible and while we were taking a beautiful hike out in the country side there was a beautiful spot that I knew would be perfect. I think I did a pretty good job and knew that this was the best decision I had ever made in my life.
