Our Wedding

Rebeca saw Daniel as MR.BENNET, in BYU's Production of Pride and Prejudice. She reflected how good of an actor and a person Daniel seemed but figured he was too old for her, and that it was silly to think an actor was as good a person as his role.

March 2022

Daniel and Rebecca first met when working on BYU Ballet's abridged production of Swan Lake. Rebecca ran the lightboard while Daniel was the only actor, whose job it was to explain the ballet for the children. They didn't speak much, but left with an impression of wanting to get to know each other better.

September 2023 - January 2024 

Daniel and Rebecca were both invited to Barbie Movie Nights at a mutual friend's house (Boglárka and her sister Emese) almost every Sunday. There were multiple girls interested in Daniel at the time, and Rebecca decided to take a back seat. Regardless, Daniel became very interested in Rebecca, and they slowly got to know each other in the group setting, over the rest of Fall Semester.

Eventually, through cookies, watching Shakespeare recordings, and lots and lots of texting, Daniel and Rebecca grew closer outside of the group. Everything changed when they both attended a Mardi Gras Party thrown by their mutual friend, Selah. They began to engage in good conversation while walking over, and after the party, they decided to split off from the group and talk some more. They walked all over town talking into the early morning.

After that first night, they found themselves in each other's company talking all night, night after night. Eventually, after some very non-platonic handholding, Daniel and Rebecca had the fateful conversation that led to them dating. However, they couldn't spend Valentine's day together, as they had made other plans, expecting to be single.

Soon after, he attended her Taylor Swift Party instead, and was welcomed by her closest friends.

April 2024 - Aug 2024

After Winter Semester ended we went long distance so that Daniel could go home (to Maryland) and to a workshop in London while Rebecca stayed in Provo after a quick trip home and a jaunt to help her friend Emily move to Rhode Island. They sent each other LOTS of photos.

Daniel came back to Provo, just in time to accompany Rebecca to her first concert! They saw Hozier in West Valley City and both left with great joy and a better appreciation for his music.

Fall Semester

As Rebecca and Daniel jumped back into school, they were busy with many projects, but they were glad they could go through everything together. There were many late nights and time spent helping one another with their various assignments. The hardship only made them want to spend more time together.

November 27th - 29th, 2024

Rebecca spent the Thanksgiving Holidays with Daniel's Utah family, especially since his Dad and little sister visited from Maryland.

November 30th

Daniel made Rebecca a dress! They had talked the previous semester about how Daniel wanted to improve his sewing skills, and so he enrolled in a costume construction class.
 
Daniel and Rebecca had previously talked about their favourite fashion time periods. Rebecca said 1930s/1940s and Daniel said Regency Era (think Jane Austen). Daniel commented how pretty Rebecca would look in Regency clothing, but she disagreed, citing insecurities. Daniel talked about wanting to make her a "really good" pretty regency dress, that'd she'd "look fantastic in", to prove his point. Though, he knew she would look good in anything.
 
When his semester final came around, he surprised Rebecca with a white regency period dress.

Rebecca planned a secret proposal for Daniel and surprised him when she came to Maryland for his endowment. She wanted him to be in his favourite place in the world, the woods by his house outside of Fredrick, Maryland.
