After bumbling into each other in late August 2018, Angee made the first move and slid into Danilo's inbox with a simple question. Being his quick and clever-self, Danilo flipped it around and told Angee she had 3 chances to guess the right answer. If she got it right, he'd buy her a drink. But if she got it wrong, she would buy him a drink. Within one guess, Angee got it right. Danilo owed her a drink. Just as he hoped. On September 1, 2018, they met up for a drink. Angee was suspicious of Danilo's annoyingly agreeable responses to all the thing she said. She was in the process of looking for / buying her first home. So was he! She liked to read, listen to random podcasts, hike and camp. So does he! She had just moved back to UT after just finishing school. So did he! Curious to determine if this guy's cheeriness and how easy it was to chat with him was just a first-date fake out, Angee turned on the pressure and asked Danilo to join her and her friends for an evening bar crawl later that evening. He was excited and agreed to see her again. That night, Angee thought he wouldn't show up. And if he did show up, he wouldn't be that fun with her friends. He proved her wrong on all fronts. As the evening wound down, he turned and asked her: "So, what are you looking for?" Unabashedly, Angee said, "A relationship and no games" and to her surprise, Danilo responded, "Great, let's do it!" Confused, Angee asked, "Do what???" "A relationship!" he said, "We can see how this goes." And then, Angee agreed.
Inspired by Lara Jeans and Peter Kavinsky's cautious young love in "To All the Boys I've Loved," Angee and Danilo agreed to enter into their first contract. Contract Terms: 1. No kissing and holding hands with other people 2. Princess Bride (a must watch/Danilo's favorite childhood movie) 3. NO Ghosting + NO Games 4. Danilo must go with Angee to the U of U GALA 5. Go to Lava Hot Springs together! Terms of the contract only limited to ONE (1) month. Renewable each month with new terms and conditions. Agreed upon by both parties on September 4, 2018. Renewed monthly.
On September 1, 2019, Danilo lured Angee up early in the morning with the promise of breakfast and asked her to join him to watch the sunrise on the balcony of their hotel in Honolulu, HI. Not being a morning person, Angee begrudingly agreed while muttering on that they were on vacation and shouldn't have to wake up early. As the sun rose, with coffees in hand, Danilo asked Angee if their contract was working for her, because unforutnately, it wasn't working for him. He wasn't sure about the new terms and conditions that were added on. He complained that the month-to-month renewal process wasn't working for him. He thought that maybe it was time to make a signficiant change to the contract. So there, in that moment, Danilo asked Angee if she would be willing to sign a different contract: one for a lifetime.
Celebrating three years since their first date & first contract, Danilo and Angee will be surrounded by friends and family when they say "I Do" to forever.
