We met just after Leora moved to Dallas in 2013. Our friends, Claire and Nathan, invited us both to a dinner. Unknowingly to us, they sat us next to each other with the hopes that we would hit it off, and did we ever. We spent the whole evening together only to realize at the end of the night that Dan's car had been towed because he was a few hours past the 2-hour parking limit. The next day, we drove all around Dallas looking for Dan's car. And that's the story of the weirdest first date that, 7 years later, turned into a proposal. Dan proposed to Leora in August, 2020 while visiting her family in Minnesota.
