We met at a small party through a mutual friend and didn't think much of it, a few days later we met again this time in a smaller group and were able to talk. After a few weeks of snap chatting and texting we decided to go on a date and ended up exploring the national zoo, as well as the rest of D.C.

To set the story we recently lost our beloved Bernese Mountain dog Duke (whom Jared initially wanted to have apart of the proposal). We were out late walking Brody as it had starting snowing a few hours prior and enough had laid that Brody could now play this was the first snow of the season and was Brodys first time experiencing snow (Duke absolutely loved the snow). So as we were almost home under the street light in the snow Jared asked the question and Dani said YES. (in a way we felt like we had Duke with us)
