Gabriella & Daniel: A Love That Just Clicked

Some love stories take time. Gabriella and Daniel’s? It clicked from the start.

They met through a mutual friend—Gabriella’s Maid of Honor—who insisted Daniel was a great guy. She wasn’t wrong. Their first date at Besito Mexican in Huntington, NY, sealed the deal. Gabriella left thinking, "This could work," while Daniel, already smitten, was just waiting (impatiently) for her to text him first.

From there, it was the little things that made their connection undeniable. Gabriella couldn’t stop staring at Daniel’s bright blue eyes, and Daniel found her “half-smile” irresistibly cute. Their relationship was full of these small but meaningful moments—like Gabriella cheering at Daniel’s hockey games or Daniel choosing to teach her how to snowboard instead of hitting the toughest slopes with his friends.

Of course, there were plenty of laughs, too. Early on, Gabriella had an oops moment in bed (yes, we’re talking about a rogue fart). Daniel teased her relentlessly—until two weeks later, when he had his own slip-up. Justice served. But their love wasn’t just about fun. One of their most unforgettable moments was the night Daniel told Gabriella he loved her. After dinner at Oakland’s, they sat by the ocean, no music, just the sound of the waves. If they could pick a song to match the moment now? "The Feels" by Labrinth.

Now, they’re gearing up for their wedding day, ready for the candid shots, the little details, and most importantly—just being together. Their first dance will be to "Catching Feelings" by Drax Project, the perfect kickoff to the next chapter.

Up next? Growing Daniel’s business, buying a home, starting a family, and plenty of travel (Japan and Italy are high on the list). But first, a honeymoon—most likely on a Caribbean island, where the only goal is total relaxation, cocktail in hand. Gabriella and Daniel aren’t just a couple. They’re a team. And this is just the beginning.
