love in full bloom

Here's the scoop on how Christina and Dan's modern love story unfolded - cue the virtual meet-cute on the Hinge app. After a month of banter, Christina took matters into her own hands and suggested a date. Little did Dan know (or did he?), Dan picked Christina's favorite place, a tiki bar in Little Italy where they talked about everything from Dateline to dinosaurs. In true Dan style, the pair ended the night at a classic dive bar. That momentous first date happened just months before the wild ride of 2020 began. Fast forward through lockdown shenanigans and, turns out, being stuck together was a successful trial run. They even blended their furry families, bringing Max, Dan's pup, and Meeko and Mara, Christina's kitties, all under one roof. When it comes to their downtime, you can find Christina and Dan cheering on their favorite team at Padres games, in a cozy movie theater catching the newest flicks, exploring gems in their neighborhood or strolling Balboa Park (did you know it's even bigger than NY's Central Park?). Now, with 2024 on the horizon, Christina and Dan are eager to see what memories are made during the next chapter in their story!
