Before We Met....it was a surprise birthday party that brought Daniela and Matt together and is when the unexpected started to unfold.
"We actually met a few days, maybe a week, before we actually talked," says Matt. "She thought I was too young and I thought she was dating the guy she was with when we first met."
Daniela didn't know many people at the party, but after mingling, found herself talking to Matt, the cute guy she barely met a week before. By the end of that Saturday night the two exchanged numbers and went their separate ways.
"I didn't think anything of it, but he texted me the next day and we made plans for a casual date on Monday," Daniela says.
Casual was taken up a few notches and was Daniela's first glimpse of the man she would soon be dating, as he arrived with a dozen red roses. "My mouth dropped," she says, "I couldn't believe it."
"I wanted to impress her," says Matt, "this was an attractive woman, who deserved something special."
The first date was off to a great start as the two shared stories, laughed and got to know each other over burgers and beer. It was obvious the two were smitten and were falling in love as just two months later Matt moved in.
"We've been together ever since," says Daniela, while beaming a huge smile.
"Everything happened so fast," adds Matt, who's just as thrilled. "Here we are getting married. It really does seem like it was yesterday."
