In the summer of 2010 we met through a mutual friend after joining the highschool tennis team. Shortly afterwards, we found ourselves partnered up on the court. My firey temper and his cool head kept us balanced in game and our chemistry continued off court as a friendship developed. Breakfast before school and dinner after practice became a frequent occurrence as we continued to bond. We were part of different graduating classes, yet we both answered the call of the Appalachian mountains in northeastern Tennessee. It wasn't until the summer of 2013, on the beaches of South Padre Island, that we officially became an item.
Fast forward to 2019. Six years of experiences, of growth, and of love have come and gone. Life has thrown a lot our way and still we've managed to make it through together in one piece. To mark the occasion we decide it's high time for a trip! After much deliberation we set our sights on Spain. We got straight to work on planning (well, Dani did) and once we bought our first plane tickets there was no going back. Three months of planning and scheduling later and we set off on our international adventure. Madrid welcomed us with sunny skies and we hit the ground running. After two days of sight seeing and getting accustomed to the ways of Spain, it was time to move onwards to Barcelona! The next two days were set to be jam packed with things to see and do around this beautiful city. We had a schedule ready, but Alex had something special planned. The day had a busy start in the city and was set to end on a peaceful note in a park away from all the hustle and bustle. After exploring the park we went to exit through the labyrinth. It was at the center of this maze that Alex suggested to take a pause. Music began to play and after a sweet serenade, he got down on one knee, pulled out a ring and asked Daniela if she would please get lost with him for the rest of their lives to find their way together forever.
