We met in person for the first time on July 3, 2021, at the Iowa City Jazz Fest. We had a brief conversation (5 minutes) but thought nothing of it. Then Dan saw Miranda as a friend request on Facebook in early October and decided to ask her out on a semi-blind date. Miranda agreed, and we enjoyed a 3-hour date on October 15 at the Vine in Iowa City. We are thrilled to be getting married exactly 1 year after our 1st date! Recently, Miranda discovered that Dan was the first guy to reach out to her on eHarmony back in September 2019. At that time, things didn't go any further, but God had a different plan when we crossed paths again! We look forward to living in Muscatine, IA together.
