we're getting married!

Their love story began while they were at different universities—Fred was at UIC and Daniella at the University of Iowa—their paths crossed through mutual friends. Fred learned that Daniella was planning to move to Chicago after graduation, and from that moment, he made it his mission to know when she’d be making the big move! Every weekend, he would ask her, "When are you moving to Chicago? I would love to show you around the city!" When Daniella finally graduated, she made the move. The very first weekend she arrived in the city, they met up, and their connection was immediate. From that day forward, their bond grew stronger, and on October 5, 2019, they officially began dating! It’s a story that started with persistence and blossomed into something beautiful and lasting, leading them to where they are today—ready to spend the rest of their lives together!
