Grab your dancing shoes! We're getting married!

Danielle had heard all the jokes about meeting someone on a dating app, but she never thought the story of how she met Scott would sound so... unique. They both swiped right one evening, and Scott’s opening line popped up: “A girl who loves Disney and is from New Orleans? You’re a woman after my own heart.” Danielle smirked. Smooth, she thought. But she couldn’t resist replying. “Really? Almost too good to be true. Is it true you almost died in a squirrel mascot costume?” Scott’s response came quickly: “Now, that story is better over drinks. How about margaritas at Second Rodeo, and I’ll tell you everything?” Danielle couldn’t help but laugh. It was bold, but there was something about Scott’s confidence—and the intrigue of the mascot story—that made her say yes. By Saturday afternoon, they arrived at Second Rodeo, the Fort Worth watering hole with its rustic charm and live music in the air. Danielle had an escape plan just in case things went sour, but they talked non-stop! They shared stories of how they both ended up in Texas, childhood trips to Disney, New Orleans food they missed, and their shared love for family. By the end of the night, it was clear: this wasn’t just a good date—it was the start of something special. And as they walked out together under the string lights, Danielle thought that sometimes, the best stories really do start with a swipe and a squirrel costume.
