In the summer of 2017, Dannaca began thinking of trying out the Match dating app for the first time. With some encouragement from family and friends Dannaca created a Match profile. Having had a few dates here and there, but nothing lasting or remarkable; Dannaca began to lose hope that the app could actually work; and was waiting for her subscription to end. Miguel decided to try the match dating app around the same time as Dannaca; as he was looking for something serious and was tired of dating the same type of girls he was meeting around his home state of California. Miguel had met a few people that he thought were kind and sweet from Louisiana through his siblings dating relationships; so he decided that he also wanted to meet someone from Louisiana. October 8th 2017 Miguel sent Dannaca a message on the Match dating app asking her if she would mind getting to know him. Dannaca was hesitant to start anything with a guy who lived in California; however she figured conversation couldn’t hurt. One conversation led to several and after about 2 months of conversation Dannaca and Miguel decided to meet for the first time in Louisiana; in December 2017. One meeting led to several trips for Dannaca and Miguel back and forth from California to Louisiana and vice versa. After about a year and 7 months of traveling to each other’s home states for visits; on May 19, 2019 Miguel asked Dannaca to marry him while at a private dinner on the beach in Destin, Florida.
