Bill and Dana had their first date on January 6, 2018 at Moonlighter in Logan Square. Bill ordered a masculine-sounding drink that turned out to be hot pink. This started the night off right, and hilarity ensued. They immediately bonded over their mutual loves of music, London, and IU. They discussed their guilty pleasure music, Shakira was Bill's and Pitbull was Dana's. Dana pretended to like sports and Bill was excited to have this in common. Unfortunately her sports affinity was short lived. They made plans for a second date a few days later, and the rest is history. Their first few months of dating were filled with trying new restaurants and bars, and checking out street art. They both love to travel and have been fortunate to take some amazing trips together to Colombia, the UK, Croatia, Ireland, and Spain to name a few. They enjoy going to concerts and festivals, and Bill has somehow managed to talk their way into a sold out Tame Impala show and backstage at Lolla's Perry's stage to see Fisher. Where there's a Bill there's a way, or however the saying goes. They moved in together in September 2019. While sharing space isn't Dana's strong suit, they were able to compromise and have enjoyed making the place their own. Once Covid started, they picked up new hobbies such as biking around Chicago. Although both working from home was a bit of an adjustment at first, they have found their groove. Bill and Dana got engaged on January, 8 2021 during a staycation in Chicago at the London House. Bill was able to keep the engagement a secret by letting Dana plan the weekend and thinking it was her idea. They were then surprised the next day by their parents and had an incredible weekend celebrating. They are looking forward to getting all of their favorite people together in Chicago for their wedding.
