We met online, as so many couples do, and were able to have only one face-to-face meeting before the COVID lockdown. So we spent a lot of time getting to know each other by talking online and over the phone. Several months later, there was a lot of travel between Charlottesville and Lexington as our relationship grew. In April 2024, it culminated with an exciting engagement in a state park outside of Indianapolis, IN. Why there? Because we had traveled to the area, supposedly for Dan's business but really to experience the total solar eclipse. Just as the "diamond" of the eclipse shown, Dan got down on one knee to present his own diamond. And Caitlin enthusiastically said yes! We can't wait for you to join us as we take this next step on our lifetime together.
