We met at a Latin Dance event in Pensacola. Christina and her friend, Kianna, drove from Mobile for a dress-to-impress dance social being hosted by some of their friends. Mach was at happy hour with some coworkers and was dragged to the social by his friends Grace and Sierra. When they first entered the event, Christina turned to Kianna and said "Oh, I don't recognize him but he looks tall so hopefully he'll be good to dance with." Thankfully he was, since he asked her to dance at least 5 times that night! After talking and dancing for a few hours, Mach walked around and said goodbye to everyone and left. Unknown to Christina, he stood outside for a while and decided that he couldn't miss the opportunity to get to know her more and chose to write his phone number down on a business card for the venue they were in. He returned to the dance space and found Christina dancing with someone else. He decided to approach them on the dance floor, hand his phone number to Christina without a word, and leave! Thanks to encouragement from Christina's mom, Christina agreed to reach out to him and they have been dancing together ever since 🥹
