Our first beautiful date

Meriel and Daniel started chatting every now and then. Daniel asked if Meriel was hungry, and she accepted an invitation to get some Pieology after work one Friday night. Daniel being sneaky asked her to see Pacific Rim with him during dinner, not letting her know he saw it the previous Friday.

Our happy engagement

Daniel and Meriel took a vacation together to visit Maui, HI. It is one of Daniel's favorite places to visit. He managed to get Meriel confident enough fend off the shoreline chickens and roosters and to venture into the ocean to try snorkeling, outside of her comfort zone. One of the most beautiful place he knew is where he planned to propose Ohai Loop Trail.

AMANDA SOBridesmaid

I bonded with Meriel over being kind of okay at bowling, sharing cubicle space and human contact where there usually is none in the office. Making silly jokes and talking about weird random things, like Meriel working in darkness and jumping around to turn on the lights, always made work a more fun and lively place.
