We met back in April at a mutual friend’s dinner party in Miami. I was there with my bubbly sister, and the hostess assigned her a seat near Daniel. Halfway through the dinner, my sister came up to me excitedly and exclaimed that there was someone I absolutely HAD to meet, that we shared all the same interests, and that I’d regret not talking to him. That was Daniel McKinley. I thought my sister was exaggerating and that it wasn’t too pressing to speak with him, but at the end of the dinner I managed to cross paths with him. We only spoke for a few seconds, but I knew right away that he was an interesting person, and that I’d like to speak with him again. We exchanged contact details, and soon enough became close friends. Within a few more weeks, we became best friends and could not imagine a life without each other, so we began dating officially. By October, we were already discussing marriage, finally getting engaged on November 5th!
