Daniel and Gabriella met at #1 Cochran, a car dealership in Robinson Township. Daniel was interning in the finance department and Gabriella's grandma - Betty - was in the market for a new car. Betty met Daniel before Gabriella did - and she obviously told Daniel how great her granddaughter is. Coincidentially, both Daniel and Gabriella were studying business at Duquesne University - they were even living in the same building for the upcoming school year. On June 4, 2019, Gabriella went into the dealership with Betty and Daniel was working. As soon as Gabriella entered the dealership, before even being introduced to Daniel, one of the car salesman exclaimed "you both go to Duquesne... you're both nice... you guys should date!" Just a few days later, Daniel and Gabriella went on their first date.
