Daniella Monet and Andrew Gardner just got engaged over the holiday season and it almost wouldn’t have happened at all if Daniella kept standing him up.

In a new interview with ET, the former Victorious actress admitted that after being set up by one of her good friends, it took a while for them to actually meet.

Daniella shared that after talking on Facebook, they decided to meet, however…”I actually stood him up a couple times because I was nervous to meet him. I’m so lucky I didn’t blow it.”

“After dating for a while, he later told me that when he saw a picture of me on Facebook, he had a feeling I was special,” she adds. “He’s one of the strongest, most level-headed men I know. He knows what he wants, and he’s not afraid of a challenge. It’s so cliche, but I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
