Ben and Danny met during college in Spanish class. They could have met even earlier had Ben not ignored the guy who sat next to him on the first day. They got to chatting, and Ben began to tutor Danny. If Danny ever tells you Ben wrote his papers, don't believe him. After two years together, the pair decided to split as Ben moved to Madison to start his master's program - still in Spanish!

After a few years, Danny found himself in Madison on a Sunday night. On a whim, he asked Ben if he wanted to get dinner and if he still lived in Madison. (In that order!) One thing led to another, and they began dating once more.

After an interstate move, several months living together, and the adoption of the cutest shih tzu you've ever met, it was finally time for someone to propose. Although the plan was always for Danny to be the one to do it, Ben decided to take the initiative and surprise him for once. But don't worry, Danny found a time to get down on one knee to Ben, who cried just as much as if they weren't already engaged.

We're excited to see you all in Stillwater, Minnesota for our wedding and celebration!
