How We Met

What a way to end a year...

After years of saying online dating was something she would never do...Danielle created a Bumble account. The first day on the app, she scrolled across Xavier's profile. Something about his smile, his eyes (and his beard) captured her attention and she swiped right! That same night, on the other side of town Xavier did the same! Scrolling through Bumble, he came across Danielle's profile. One of her profile pictures was a simple shot of her in a white sweater in a vineyard. Xavier was struck by the elegance and classiness of Danielle and swiped right as well. The next day, Danielle struck up a conversation with Xavier through the app and the rest is history!

The Proposal

10.10.2020

With plans of having a surprise outdoor proposal suddenly upended up a forecast of rain, Xavier and his team sprung into action making sure the day would go off without a hitch. He picked Danielle up that morning and treated her to a spa day. On the way back to Danielle's home, Xavier casually mentioned he'd made dinner plans and also had one more activity planned for the pair. He asked her to go inside and quickly change as time was of the essence. Danielle, not thinking twice as Xavier always planed surprises; quickly obliged. Driving through the city, Danielle was quiet (her mind focused on dinner and trying to guess where he had made reservations). Xavier was focused - he was slowed down by the arrival of the forecasted rain and a train. Danielle, having given up trying to guess what he had planned, accompanied Xavier into The Mint Museum. Walking off the elevator, Danielle made a beeline to a nearby carpeted area where she could dry off her heels. She noticed a woman taking pictures of a man but didn't think anything of it. Drying off her shoes, she heard Xavier conversing with the photographer and the young man mentioning he was a singer. Danielle walked toward Xavier as he asked the young man to "sing a lil something!". As he began to serenade a very confused Danielle, Xavier took her hand and escorted her into an art exhibit. Walking into the exhibition room, Xavier pointed and Danielle looked up to see rose petals and a runner with their names, picture and the day's date. Xavier pointed to the back of the room and a door opened. Out walked their family and friends and Danielle immediately began to cry, realizing what was happening. Xavier took her hand and walked her to the center of the room where he confessed his unwavering love and asked her to be his wife. The proposal was followed by a celebratory dinner with family and friends in a private room at Eddie V's and a romantic staycation in Uptown Charlotte.
