How They Met | Daniel and Sofia first met at a high school party.
Although the two attended different schools growing up, they had friends
in common. Years after meeting, during the summer of 2011, their love
story took off when they ended up as teammates on a recreational beach
volleyball team. Daniel’s on-the-court skills impressed Sofia so much she
couldn’t help but develop a crush. Over the summer the two grew quite
close thanks to mutual friends who spent almost every weekend together.
Later that year when a visit to a friend’s cottage was planned, Daniel and
Sofia solidified their bond by talking, laughing and flirting well into the
early morning hours. That night, both realized they wanted to be much
more than friends.
The Ceremony | The St. Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic Church,
where Sofia grew up attending every Sunday in her youth, was where she
and Daniel decided to host their ceremony. Since the church not only held
a special place in Sofia’s heart but Daniel’s as well (the two attended mass
together shortly after becoming a couple), they immediately gravitated
towards it after getting engaged as an appropriate place to exchange their
vows. The ceremony was simple, intimate and included close family and
friends. To this day, Daniel and Sofia consider the moment their eyes met
at opposite ends of the aisle one of their most cherished memories.
