We met at a Beer Olympics for a friend's birthday. After 9 months, we moved in together and the rest is history!

(Written by Kelly - Daniel probably has a very different version - haha!) On the anniversary of when we first met (unbeknownst to Dan), Dan told me on Friday night we were going to the beach in the morning. Saturday morning (after I got everything ready to go to the beach) he told me we were actually not going to swim, and were just meeting his family to walk on the beach. After that and multiple other comments to steer me off track, I was more than confused. (I may or may not have told him that his "presence annoyed me" 1 hour before he proposed...no I do not think I will ever live that one down - haha). I rolled with it and it finally led us to East Beach Pavilion in Norfolk, Virginia - (No - I did not catch on to this being a proposal until he was down on one knee). After finally getting me to sit down on the bench and stop asking questions, Dan got down on one knee and that became the best moment of my life. I turned around to see my brother and a neighbor hiding in the bushes taking pictures. That day was filled with a surprise impromptu party and (almost) all of our family to celebrate with us. This day will forever be one of my most favorite days <3
