Daniel and Laura met on October 16th, 2010 in Anaheim, CA. Laura was throwing a party to celebrate her 19th birthday and Daniel showed up with mutual friends. Their interaction was brief but over the next few months they kept running into each other at parties and outings and a friendship began. They had a lot of similar interests like snowboarding, music taste, being fans of the hunger games series, and a fun baseball rivalry to bond over (Giants vs. Angels). After a year of friendship, they started dating. After a few years, the two uprooted their lives in Orange County to move to Northern California, where Laura is originally from while Daniel finished his undergrad. A couple years later, the two decided to pursue their own passions separately, but together. Laura stayed in the Bay Area focused on a tech career and Daniel moved back to Orange County to coach basketball and their long distance relationship began. Laura and Daniel started racking up those frequent flyer miles with what felt like a flight every two weeks and continued that cycle for the next 5 years until the pandemic hit and full-time remote work finally grounded the pair in the same place for more then a long weekend. Laura shortly moved back to Orange County, the pair bought their first home, got engaged and we all know how the story goes on from there...
