It was a chance meeting at a work function. At the time, D'Anna was leading the company's philanthropic campaign and Chris was one of the leadership givers. Unbeknownst to D'Anna, Chris was totally taken by her smile and bubbly personality and would commit to attending more of these philanthropic functions just to run into her. At the next function, Chris decided to make his move. He noticed D'Anna sitting alone and he made his way over to her. "Are you saving this seat for me?" he said. D'Anna released a polite chuckle and invited him to sit down. In truth, she was really exhausted from her social butterfly duties and just wanted to take a quick breather. After some small talk about the weather, food, and other work-appropriate topics, Chris decided to ask a question he really wanted the answer to--"Is there a Mr. D'Anna?" Completely caught off guard by the question and the ridiculous phrasing, D'Anna nervously replied, "well, no, there isn't a mister in my life right now. I can't seem to find anyone who isn't in a relationship." And then, in a bar full of hundreds of people, Chris slowly and dramatically raised his hand and said "Well, I'm single." This sent D'Anna into a fit of REAL laughter from which she knew she could not recover. He had disarmed her with his confidence, candor, and charm, so when he asked her on a date moments later, she gladly accepted... and the rest is history!
