As the couples finished their meals catered by Sonesta Gwinnet Place and the Muna Coterie Valentine’s Day dinner began coming to an end, the couples continued to talk and laugh with each other over a glass of wine.  Mr. McClenton continued to serenade them on the flute and Daniella shared with the group how she met the love of her life.

Daniella met Michael on Tinder, a popular dating app. Although she was “anti-online dating,” she felt it would be a good way to meet new people. After being matched, Daniella and Michael chatted for a couple of weeks before meeting in person. On their first date Michael took her out for a fun night of dinner and dancing on River Street in Savannah, Ga, which led to their loving relationship.When they began looking for rings, Daniella’s mom recommended that they reset her engagement ring. So she gave Michael the engagement ring to “hold” which he put on a necklace that he wore daily. Surprisingly, Michael lost the ring one weekend, and couldn’t find it. Daniella stated she was “livid and cried because of the sentimental value.” Little did she know, Michael had found the ring and had a big surprise for her. While on a trip to Florida to visit Daniella’s uncle, she noticed Michael called his mother on Facetime, and everyone around her had their phones and camera’s out. As everyone was watching Michael says “so about this ring situation” and got down on one knee as he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him, which her whole family was able to witness.

Congratulations Daniella and Michael!
