It all began in January 2019, in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland, where fate—and a little help from Hinge—brought Daniela and Jay together. Daniela was immediately intrigued by Jay’s profile, especially his note about knowing where to find the best margaritas and oysters in town. Unable to resist, she commented on the post, and Jay, ever the bold one, wasted no time asking her out. The plan? A casual lunch at Lib's Grill on a Wednesday afternoon. But in true "meant-to-be" fashion, Jay made a little mix-up and ended up at the neighboring restaurant, Liberatore's. Unaware of his mistake, he took a seat and waited for Daniela to arrive. When she walked in, they both laughed about the confusion—and rather than let it throw them off, they decided to roll with it. What followed was an afternoon full of laughter, great conversation, and even better food. What started as a simple lunch date quickly turned into something much more special. Just a few days later, Jay invited Daniela on what he now fondly calls their “real” first date: a whole day of adventures, from competitive games and drinks at a local brewery to watching the Super Bowl at Max’s Taphouse. While everyone else might remember the 2019 Super Bowl as one of the most uneventful games in history, for us, it marked the beginning of something incredible. From there, things moved quickly—and beautifully. Countless dates, family gatherings, trips, and shared moments led to moving in together, surviving quarantine side by side, and even making a big cross-country move. And then came the big milestone: on June 28, 2024 at Max's Taphouse, Jay asked Daniela to spend forever together, and of course, she said yes.
