One night at Bryant University, Leticia and her friends decided to make their way down to the legendary basement of Hall 13 where Dan and the Bryant Football team would study really hard on the weekends. Leticia immediately caught Dan's eye, but the RA's breaking up the evening really killed the vibe... Dan and Leticia would trade flirtatious smiles and conversations in their dining hall, Salmo, as well as when they volunteered at Bryant's Special Olympics during the next few years at school. However, it wasn't until after Leticia graduated college (2 years after Dan) that the sparks started to fly. Dan messaged Leticia on Twitter to get her phone number (romantic!) and eventually asked to take her on a date. They met at the beach, and had dinner on Castle Island. The rest was history!

Only 2 months after they started dating, Dan got a job offer which relocated him down to Washington D.C. They would alternate visiting each other, and two years into their long distance relationship it was finally time for Leticia to make her own big move to D.C... Every single mile between them was worth it :) Since July of 2019, Dan and Leticia have called Tyson's Corner, Virginia their home.

Dan proposed to Leticia in front of her family on October 10th, 2020 in Waitsfield, VT. It was a beautiful, sunny, fall day with the fall foliage in prime bloom for the backdrop of the proposal. The sun didn't help Dan, however, who broke quite the sweat trying to wrangle in Leticia. She was busy chasing around her nephew, Nicholas, who had not taken his afternoon nap and still had plenty of energy from his 1st birthday party the night before. When Dan finally lured Leticia to "take a picture in front of the beautiful view", he handed his phone to Monica, Leticia's Mom, to capture what was to happen next. When Dan got on a knee, Monica instantly broke into tears and missed the shot of Dan asking the ever-important question, "Will you marry me?" to Leticia. Shoutout to the Maid of Honor, Julia for having her phone at the ready and taking a great picture of the moment!!!
