Dayanis and Kolby met in their senior year of college at the University of Florida. Dayanis was studying for her Bachelors of Science in Nursing and Kolby was studying for his Bachelors of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology. They first met through mutual friends at a pizzeria called Satch Squared. Dayanis and Kolby began as friends and eventually their friendship progressed.
Kolby proposed to Dayanis on August 21st, 2024 on a family trip to Hawaii. The day of their arrival to Oahu, Dayanis was told they would be taking family photos at the beach for Cookie and Martin’s wedding anniversary. Once the family arrived to Sand Island Beach, Honolulu, they took family photos. When the photo shoot was coming to an end, Kolby said a beautiful speech as he then proposed to Dayanis. Dayanis could not stop crying and Teagan was jumping with excitement.
