Let me start off by saying that I love telling people this story. The first time I've ever seen Danny in my entire life was at school. I was walking towards the main building while he was walking the opposite direction towards the annex. I see a tall Asian guy walking towards my way, with long, almost shoulder-length hair and long bangs to match. His hair was practically covering his entire face because he had so much hair. He was wearing basketball shorts, Old Navy $1 flip flops, and a white "BLINK IF YOU WANT ME" t-shirt. I kept my eyes WIDE open as I walked past him, making sure he knew that I did not want him. In my head, I told myself I would never date a guy like him. Jokes on me - I'm about to marry this guy and wouldn't change a thing about it :)
In 2018, we went to Hawaii with a group of friends. One day, we were at a beach park, playing frisbee and taking pictures. Unbeknownst to me, as the sun was setting, Danny plopped down on one knee and gave me a lengthy speech that I definitely did not listen to cause I was bawling my eyes out. He asked me to be his girlfriend (because he's awkward like that) and I said yes!!! I was surrounded by some of my closest friends and felt like I was in a dream - until we found out we got LOCKED inside the beach park. We were stuck for an hour with no way out and ended up calling 911. The Honolulu PD came to the rescue and was able to unlock us. Best proposal story I could ever ask for!!
