We met on a Saturday night in 2012 in one of Tani's favorite cities; Las Vegas, NV. We met through mutual friends Chris and Christina Solis and as soon as I met Ivan with his backwards hat and my sense of humor we hit it off and had an amazing night dancing, laughing, and getting to know each other. The next day Ivan's close friend told him to not contact me for three days however Ivan decided to not listen and asked me on a date. That following Monday we went on our first official date and after that we were inseparable and have been dating ever since. Today we live in Long Beach and love spending time with our friends, family, our dog Kimba and Ivan's daughters.
