Tanya and Daniel started talking through a chance encounter in May of 2022 and have been inseparable ever since. Daniel called up a previous colleague Suzanne and was checking in regarding her new job situation. One topic led to another, and they got on the subject of relationships and Suzanne told him she knew a woman from Junior Service Club whom she felt like would hit it off. (Side note: Tanya originally joined Junior Service Club to meet people and possibly a man but didn't know when she signed up it was an all-women's organization). A couple weeks after the phone call Daniel reached out via private message, and a couple weeks after that Daniel and Tanya had their first date at the vintage arcade bar Up/Down. Come to find out they both share a love of video games and are very competitive. After months of dating and finding commonality of a love for animals, science fiction, nature, and gaming Daniel proposed at the top of Cliff Cave Park at sunset on Valentine's Day. The rest is history, and the best is yet to come.
