Upon asking Daryl how he met Andrea his response was:

I began my divorce from my 1st wife in August 2006. (which became final in July 2007) I had not been out with another woman  until I met Andrea at Maggiano’s Restaurant In the trendy Houston, Tx Galleria area late January 2007.  I was in the bar sipping wine while waiting on my fraternity brother –Dennis.  I noticed this incredibly gorgeous woman staring at me.  About 4-5 minutes later she came over to me with her camera and asked me if I’d take a couple of pictures of her and her co-worker as they were eating dinner in the bar. I took their picture and gave her back her camera.  Now about 2 minutes later, she started taking several pictures of me.  They were finishing up, so I told the waitress that I’d buy their dinner. About 5 minutes later, Dennis showed up and we went into the restaurant to eat.  We finished eating about 40 minutes later and decided to go back into the bar to listen to the music and have one last glass of wine.  To my surprise, that gorgeous woman was still in the bar. She came over and put her arm around mine to thank me for buying their dinner.   She then said, I’m a little tipsy and it’s raining outside, would you mind walking me to my car. I still didn’t even know her name, but I wasn’t about to let her out of my sight again. I walked her to her car, she got in, asked me to get in.  About 5 minutes later she reached across the console of her Chrysler Crossfire and began kissing me. Now this was too good to be true.  That went on for about 10-15 minutes.  Then she wrote her name and phone number down and gave me one of her business cards and said she wanted to see me again.   I said I’d call her the next day.

We dated for about 2 months and she declared that I needed to get divorced and “play the field” for many months before getting serious again. I did that and had a blast, but a lot was missing – her.  I knew I was in love with her and I wanted only her. I called her up and told her that about May 2007 and we’ve been dating ever since.  I asked her to marry me on New Year’s Eve 12/31/07 and moved in with her last August 2008.  We wed on Friday July 10, 2009 in the fine country of Aruba.  I had been there four times and wanted her to experience the warm ambiance and culture of Aruba.

She is too good to be true.  I truly am the luckiest man – at least in Texas.

Well Daryl, I’ll dear to say that you might be one of the luckiest guys in the world to score a great lady like this. I really admire you two, I’ve learned from you the short period we’ve spent together. I want to be like the like you two when I grow up.

Andrea and Daryl, all the best in this new life you’re beginning together.

The Kiss. These two can kiss.

Listening carefully to the officiator, Mr Betto Christiaans.  

Mr Christiaans, informed them upon delivering the marriage book, that it has space to put the names of six kids in the book so they can now get busy. This was their reaction. 

Sealing the deal with a kiss!
