Nearly seven years ago, we were introduced by a mutual friend (shoutout to Alex) and started hanging out with a group of friends. That summer, I took a leap and asked Daniel if he wanted to go to the Hometown Fair, who cooly accepted my invite to "just hang out". That evening, we were on a ride and a woman sitting across from us (who clearly had been having a bit too much fun at the fair) looked at us and asked "Are you two on a date?" We, being the awkward 17-year-olds at the time, looked at each other absolutely mortified and embarrassed. You could HEAR the crickets of the sitcom-esque moment of awkwardness. Thankfully, the moment was cut short by the movement of the ride. Only later on did we settle on the answer to the inebriated woman's question-- a now obvious "yes", and, as they say, the rest is history.
