WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

We met online! After a ton of failed first dates, Alicia came across a profile of another Michigan transplant living in the DC area. The first date was at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Dan's idea). Due to a series of crazy events and a dead cellphone Alicia was almost 2 hours late, and still grateful Dan waited around. After some pizza they rode the metro home squished into a seat together. That's pretty much when both of them thought to themselves, "Okay, this could be something."

Alicia went on a trip Easter weekend to Niagara Falls. Dan insisted he couldn't go because he had to work. Instead of working he was buying a ring, and driving to Mason to get permission from Alicia's father in person. In an effort to keep the ring a secret (Alicia's Dad doesn't have a great track record of keeping secrets), Dan proposed before Alicia was even unpacked from her trip to Niagara. With their dog Kit sitting in Alicia's lap, Dan popped the question and the rest is history.
