About the Couple
Bride: Pamela Danyleko
Groom: Juan Saldivar
How they met: It was October 2000 and Pam’s friend had an exchange student, from Mexico City, Paulina, staying with her and her family. One evening as Pam began to flip through Paulina’s album of photographs, she came across a picture of Juan and thought he was pretty darn hot! Pam asked Paulina to tell him she said hello the next time she saw him. When she delivered the little hello to Juan he was intrigued by who this mysterious Pam was, and he told Paulina to say hello back. After a couple of weeks of hellos going back and forth, Paulina arranged for them to meet at a Halloween party.
Fave date: Their summer trip to Paris.
Engagement story: After a surprise dinner, Juan presented Pam with a gift. At the very bottom of the giant box was a small envelope. Pam opened the envelope to find a message that said, “This is the first clue for finding your special gift.” The clues led Pam all around the house and finally ended at their fireplace where she found a tiny envelope. The card read, “Some do it in Paris. Others do it in Rome. Some do it in fancy restaurants. But I prefer to do it right here where we call home…” As Pam turned around, Juan was down on one knee.
