How We Met
Her Story
We used to work together. It was at my first job out of college. I remember the day we met, it was about 2 months after I started. That day I was working and going about my day and our team got put into an impromptu meeting. That is when Daniel & I met for the first time. Not long after he was officially hired and moved to California.
His Story
We met at work. I was in flight operations and Jacquelyn was in the marketing department. We met before I moved to California, when Jacquelyn was in the conference room. That was the first time I visited Mooney international.
The Proposal
His Story
The proposal took a long time to plan, but a short time to put together because I didn’t have much time. I wanted to do something nice and memorable, but also include Disney and Mickey Mouse at the same time. I also want to be romantic.
Her Story
The proposal...It was very romantic and I could tell Daniel put a lot of effort into it. Around the time I knew something was up, but no details. All in all it was amazing. Daniel was able to pull off getting me tricked by one of my best friends to get me out of the house, and in a mere couple of hours he turned our backyard into a romantic proposal.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
His Story
I would try to fly from California to Texas to meet Jacquelyn for the weekend. Sometimes I would go on an airliner and sometimes I would fly down myself in the middle of the night. My favorite memory was on one Valentine’s Day. My plane was broken down, and I had to fix the airplane first. After a lot of small obstacles you can say, I arrived at 5 AM in the morning to celebrate Valentine’s Day with her and we had a very nice and memorable day to cook at home, relax and enjoy a little bit in the San Antonio, Texas area.
Her Story
Our first overseas trip was to Macau & Japan. We had been dating for less than a year and Daniel kept mentioning we should visit Macau & Japan for Christmas. On our last day in Japan it snowed. If you know me I love snow. It started to snow lightly and being from California I wondered why the roof has so much white stuff and it was floating around the air at the hot spring hotel. Once I realized it was snow I forgot to pack and I just kept exclaiming and being excited about the snow. Thanks Daniel for packing for us.
Her Story
One Friday night after work, I went back to my place. As I entered my apartment and I heard a weird noise. It was a giant flying Texas cockroach. I tried to be brave and get rid of it but it came at me and I lost it. Crying and hysterical, I called Daniel, my mom and my sister. My mom and sister asked what they could do being thousands of miles away in California. Luckily and coincidentally Daniel was air lining down to visit me that weekend, but his flight was delayed. So at 7pm I gave up my room and at 10pm I gave up the apartment and left to the airport for 4 hours early to wait for Daniel. Long story short we reconquered the apartment.
For Some Laughs
His Story
Funny story is that one time we actually tried to time our flights on one of our weekend getaways. It was to go to one of our good friends wedding party in Kansas. At the time I was in California & Jacquelyn was in Texas. We were supposed to fly and meet in DFW. I had a 3 hour from Ontario and my flight got there on time. Jacquelyn only had a 1 hour flight from San Antonio, but it got delayed. She told me to board and save her a seat, but her flight did not end up arriving in time and we missed each other by 5 minutes. She ended up staying in a presidential suite for the night.
