According to Dave, his peculiar humor and outstanding dance moves won Cristina over... It just took him about 4-5 times to make it stick. On the other hand, Cristina says that her gorgeous looks won Dave over... but in reality, Dave says it was her "to die for" cooking and baking skills. Dave and Cristina met in New York City. As always, Dave was wearing his plaid shirt, a backpack, and wore glasses (now you know why it took him several tries to get a first date). After they introduced themselves to each other during the graduate school student orientation, they both parted ways and it wasn't until the end of the first semester until they really started to get to know each other. Dave would always ask Cristina if she was around to explore the city and after a few tries, Cristina finally agreed to go on a few dates with him. During this time, they enjoyed each others company and explored holiday markets, tried delicious foods such as Hungarian pastries, and dancing, and on December of 2016, Cristina realized that she was falling in love with her best friend. After the first yes, the rest was history.
