Back in the Fall of 2015, Bradford and Danielle both stumbled upon each other's profile on the infamous dating app Tinder. They both swiped right in hopes of meeting someone new who just might be able to put up with each of their quirks. The two decided to go on their first date for dinner and drinks and ended the night by playing darts and pool. This would become the first of many, many game nights for the couple. Danielle would soon come to love Bradford's intelligence, drive, and wittiness; and Bradford fell in love with Danielle's charisma, positive outlook on life, and her parents' dog Ruby.
Fast forward 3 & 1/2 years later to 4th of July weekend 2019. The couple was in Lake Arrowhead (as they often were) with Danielle's family for a summer weekend out on the boat. After a day out on the lake, Danielle's mom (who was in on the planning) suggested the family take sunset photos on the back deck. As Danielle and Bradford were taking their couple's photo, Bradford got down on one knee and asked Danielle to spend the rest of her life with him. Now, if you know Bradford, you know he's quite the jokester. Danielle was completely oblivious (as she usually is) and thought Bradford was being, well, typical Bradford. She thought the whole thing was a joke. She kept telling Bradford to get up so they could finish taking their photo. After what seemed like several minutes, Danielle's eye finally caught a glimpse of the most beautiful diamond ring. She proceeded to ask at least 10 times if this was really happening. After the 10th response, Danielle was finally convinced it was real and said YES!
