Dana and Andres first crossed paths at their friend Kevin's 30th birthday dinner in South Philly in late 2019. At the time, one of Dana’s best friends and roommate, Liv, had just started dating Kevin, who worked with Andres. Liv urged Dana to join her for the birthday celebration, and luckily, Dana agreed. Liv’s promise that there would be cute boys at the dinner certainly sweetened the deal for Dana. *Kevin and Liv are now happily married with a beautiful baby boy named Luke.* At the dinner, both Dana and Andres secretly sought each other out, making sure to sit next to one another. Depending on who you ask, they'll claim that the other was the one who found them cute and initiated the seating arrangement, but the truth is that they both had eyes for each other from the start. When Andres learned that Dana was a middle school Spanish teacher, his face lit up. The two spent the rest of the evening bonding in Spanish, and the rest is history!
