But when Stephanie moved to Mexico to study abroad, she assumed that she had &#8220;fallen off his radar,&#8221; and they lost touch. A few years later, when Stephanie was living in Houston as a teacher, the couple reconnected in a way that took Stephanie by surprise: &#8220;He would call and we would talk for hours,&#8221; recounts the bride. &#8220;So much time had passed that I was convinced we were going to pick up where we left off as friends, but I was wrong.&#8221; Turns out, Daniel had been in love with Stephanie all along, and was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to re-enter her life. The lovebirds tied the knot surrounded by 150 of their nearest and dearest in a beautiful garden ceremony at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/hotel-galvez-spa\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Galvez<\/a>, followed by a romantic champagne brunch on the terrace. The day was made even more special by the presence of the bride&#8217;s father, a disabled Vietnam veteran, who was released from the hospital only days before the wedding: &#8220;My favorite moment was my dad walking me down the aisle as my mom held him up on his other side,&#8221; says Stephanie. &#8220;It was a true fairy tale\u2014I married the man of my dreams and my dad was able to give me away.&#8221; We&#8217;re so happy for you, Daniel and Stephanie!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17089\" title=\"Wedding-Gown\"
