We first met in the Holy Name sports trainer's room in 2010. Cayla was a cute little freshman, Danny was the funny, charming senior football player that she had a crush on. We eventually started going to the same parties (shout out to one of the groomsmen, Ralph) and became friends quickly (read: secret high school crush, plot of a taylor swift song, etc). Danny will say that he knew back then that he was going to marry Cayla one day. We went on one date back in the day but then life happened and Danny went away to college. We would keep tabs on each other through social media and root for each other that way. Cayla and her friends still played the mixtape of Danny rapping every summer when they got together (please ask him about this mixtape - we need a live performance) And then the stars aligned on Thanksgiving Eve of 2022 - Cayla was home from the big city going to her high school bff's engagement party and runs into Danny who happened to be at the same bar that night. Sparks flew, time stopped, that rom-com music played in the background. We quickly scheduled our (second) first date to catch up properly, and the rest is history. We moved across the country together 6 months later, we brought a little puppy into our fam a few months after that. And finally, 15 years since that high school crush began - we are getting married!!!! :')
