How we met

Robbie and Daniela met in college through some of her roommates that worked with him. At the time, Robbie was working at the leasing office of the apartment complex that Daniela lived in, and she would see him often, and thought he was cute. Daniela and Robbie never actually spoke nor met.. Summer of 2014 was coming to an end, Daniela and her roommates were at the beach when she received a text message from Robbie. This caught her off guard, since they never exchanged phone numbers, come to find that her roommate had informed Robbie that Daniela had a crush on him and gave her number out. Over time they started going on dates or out with friends and the relationship took a life of its own. Timing was never on their side, but no matter where they were in life, they always managed to find their way back to each other. Hurricane Irma was on its way to Florida and evacuation was highly suggested for all residents. Daniela, her brother, and cousin decided to pack their cars with all the furr children (three large dogs and one cat) and make their way to Georgia to wait out the hurricane with a friend and his family on a farm, that included Robbie and Leo (one of their furr babies). You could say Hurricane Irma brought the couple back together, on this trip Robbie and Daniela finally decided to really give each other and the relationship a real chance. Since then the couple has lived in the Tampa area with both of their pups and excited than ever for the next chapter.

How he proposed

Daniela and Robbie planned a trip to California, just the two of them, but unfortunately it was pushed back due to COVID. The intimate trip quickly turned into a "family trip" with some of their closest friends. The first part of the trip began in Napa, California. The group woke up for their first wine tasting at Castello di Amorosa, Daniela was hoping this would be the trip that she would come back engaged. Little did she know that would be happening on their first day of the trip. The group was rushing to get to their second wine tasting and decided to take pictures at the castle before leaving and that was when Robbie got down on one knee and asked Daniela to spend the rest of their lives together. Talk about a fairytale proposal!
