Danielle was in town from Denver, she had plans to hang out with her friend and her cousin, Dane, that night. Dane invited Chris and his brother, Steve, to hang out as well. They had all been friends since childhood. The boys came into Danielle's mom's house and Danielle introduced herself to Chris. Chris told Danielle that they'd already met. Danielle said, "I know, it just seemed easier since we haven't seen each other in such a long time." The night started off with a small bonfire where the group hung out around the fire, eating and drinking. Afterward, they all went to the bars where Chris and Danielle continued to hit it off over a game or two of pool. Late that night, Danielle and her friend got dropped off back at her mom’s house. Once Danielle was back inside, Chris texted and asked if he could call her tomorrow. Fueled with liquid courage, Danielle responded, "it’s already tomorrow, stupid." The rest was history…NO, Dane actually lost his wallet the night before and they all had to return to the scene of the crime to look for it the next day.
Anita, Chris’ mother, set up a weekend getaway to Cabo. Cassie (Danielle’s mother), Anita, Lori & Rudy (family friends), as well as, Chris and Danielle went to dinner at a beautiful restaurant called Sunset MonaLisa, ranked one of the coolest restaurants in the world! The dining tables were located on the beautiful cliff terraces so, of course, Chris invited Danielle to go check out the sunset. Neither Chris nor Danielle said much to one other…Danielle said Chris seemed nervous. They returned to the table. While enjoying appetizers, Chris got down on one knee and asked Danielle to marry him. Without a doubt, she said, “YES” and they became engaged. As dinner continued, the sparks flew… but, not like you would imagine. There was a gas pipe that exploded just a few tables over. Luckily no was hurt and Chris and Danielle continued off into the sunset as the soon to be Mr. and Mrs! The couple is so excited to celebrate this chapter in their lives with you. See you soon!!
