I'm sure you're probably expecting some cliche story on how Dave and Mercedes met at a bar or through a friend and then dated for years only to come out as the power couple you all know and love today. That's not exactly the story here... Dave and Mercedes actually met by chance. and what luck it was. They were both doing what any single millennial would be doing on a Friday night. Flipping through their matches on dating apps. FIltering through the crazy radical Right wings, people who use anime photos as their profile pictures, and of course, the horny people who only say "U up?" at 3am and ask for nudes. Mercedes was kind enough to have her Snapchat name added to her Bumble Bio when Dave came across her. According to him, it was her smile and eyes that pierced his heart and he just had to take chance. So.. To her DM's he went.. It was an instant connection. They started off immediately by cracking jokes and sharing stories about the horrific cesspool of the apps they were on. After just a few short days of laughs and exchanging cat pics, they decided to meet. It was all pretty last minute and Mercedes wasn't expecting Dave to live over 150 miles away. So they decided to meet halfway. In Daytona of course. Meaning Mercedes drove over 130 miles to have dinner. But who's counting.. From there, everything unfolded in a booth in Chilis. It was as if they had known each other for years. Everything seemed so perfect and in place. To this day they still learn more and more about each other every day. Growing their connection as a couple and their bond as best friends.
