How We Met We met in Raleigh in 2017 when introduced by a mutual friend. Haley was living in Georgia at the time and visiting Raleigh - where Danny lived - for a friend group reunion weekend. We immediately hit it off! Haley returned to Georgia, and we kept in touch over the next month. Wanting to see each other again, we planned a group trip to Asheville. It was pretty apparent that we were into each other. For the next several months, we visited each other, took more weekend trips to new places and met the parents! Later that year, Haley moved back to Raleigh. What Came Next Just like their story began, Haley and Danny love to spend time with friends and travel together. From snowboarding in Colorado to beach camping in the Outer Banks, we're always up for a good time and new adventure. Over the years, we've learned a lot from each other. Most importantly, we've learned what it's like to be a team and love each other unconditionally - through career changes, quarantining and building a life together. We feel like we can get through anything together and have fun doing it! The Proposal In July of 2020, Haley took Danny on - what was supposed to be - a surprise birthday trip back to Asheville. Little did she know, Danny had bigger plans. On the morning after they arrived, Danny woke Haley and Riley up at 3:30 AM and drove to a special spot in the mountains. We took a short hike on the Appalachian Trail to a summit spot, called Max Patch, to watch the sun rise over the mountains. Haley was excited but didn’t think much else of it. Danny set up the camera to capture pictures of the beautiful scenery, and just as the sun began to peak through the clouds, Danny told Haley to stand up and face the sunrise for a photo. While she was turned around, Danny got down on one knee with the ring and popped the question. Haley said yes! And now, we can't wait to get married and celebrate with all of our wonderful friends and family in Charleston!
