We got married!

This love story started on August 10, 2019! Noah was in California finishing up his degree, while Daniela was VERY single (wondering when she would meet the love of her life). On that fateful Saturday night, Daniela found herself in her room with her cousins and younger brother, thinking of fun ways to have fun that night. A bright idea struck them; they would download online dating applications to prank strangers. Meanwhile, Noah was playing league of legends while checking his active bumble account. Daniela’s brother was using her account and started talking to Noah. His pick up line was “ Is your dad a boxer? Because you’re a knock out?”! Daniela eventually got her phone back and continued to talk to Noah. The very next day, on August 11,2019, he called to ensure she was real. After a couple of minutes of FaceTiming, Noah asked Daniela out for a drink. She said no, because she had to work the next day! Noah rapidly asked to go out on a target date, and she said YES! They met up at the Target parking lot, and Noah instantly fell in love with Daniela’s car (he is a mechanic after all)! After Target they decided to go to a park, where they talked for hours about life and how much they loved their families!

Noah and Daniela had been friends for about a month, when Noah decided to ask her to be his girlfriend. On the morning of September 14, 2019, Noah surprise Daniela with breakfast, a card, peanut M&Ms and a sugar free Red Bull! In the card, Noah declared his love for her, which brought Daniela to tears. After she said YES, the couple called Mama Z to tell her the news! Daniela later showed Mama Lupita the handwritten card, and she was amazed because such gestures are rare in this time of age!

Noah graduated in January 2020, which meant his time in California was over! Although both Noah and Daniela were unsure of A LOT of things, they did know that their love was rare and holding on to it was the only thing they could do! Daniela stayed in California and Noah moved back to Washington, and they both worked really hard to make time for each other! When times are hard, they know that their love will always be strong!

Noah and Daniela both wanted to celebrate their one year anniversary by taking a road trip. One day, Daniela was listening to a country song that was about the Big Montana Sky. She remembered that Noah’s dad was from Montana, and thought it would be cool to go there! Once they got the dates all planned out and time off approved, it turned out that Papa Mike’s death anniversary would fall on a day they would be there! Mama Z, Ben, Bibi, Morgan, Sabina, Thomas, and Nathaniel even tagged along! Daniela felt as she was in heaven when she arrived and saw the horses that Aunt Kelly and Uncle Jerry have! She even volunteered to clean after them ( she dragged Noah into it). Everyone but Daniela knew that Noah would pop the big question in Montana. Towards the end of the trip the entire family went on a short hike were he got on one knee and told Daniela he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her! She said YES!!

2020 was coming to and end and Daniela was eagerly waiting for Noah to fly to California for Christmas! A couple of days before he arrived she asked him if he just wanted to get married, and he said Yes! They initially planned to keep it to themselves ( not even telling their mothers)! Thankfully a couple of days before Noah arrived to California, Daniela shared the news with Tiky and Rosa! Tiky convinced Daniela to tell Mama Lupita, because getting married is such an important day! Daniela and Noah then decided to share the news with their families a week before their wedding! In less than a week, Mama Lupita planned an intimate Wedding only inviting close family and Mama Z was able to fly out for the special day! It was so perfect! Noah and Daniela realized how blessed they are!
