Dan and Veronica met in 2021 and had their first date in Napa, Ca at a Thai Bistro. Even though she was 15 minutes late, Dan's calm demeanor put her at ease and they quickly talked about their families, why Veronica loves Disneyland, and how excited they were to watch Godzilla vs. Kong. The first movie they would watch after the theaters started to open up after the pandemic.

One of their earliest memories together was driving up Hwy 1 for a coastal road trip that started in San Diego and ended in Monterey. Four years later, they have chosen Monterey as their wedding destination for the beauty, historic location, and fond memories of their first trip together.
