Our Engagement

August 27th, 2016

Christian had been inconspicuously planning the proposal for weeks and weeks. Dannielle was expecting a laid back day at The Getty Museum, including some sippin' on wine while browsing the gardens and art exhibits. Christian, however, was all set for the perfect surprise. Joined by Christian's twin brother, Hunter, and his then fiancé, now wife, Christine, everyone around Dannielle knew the details of the day- and by some miracle they were all able to keep the secret. A few hours into the Getty exploration Christian found the perfect quiet corner and popped the big question. Thanks to Hunter and Christine, patiently waiting for his big moment, we now have one very explicit video display of Dannielle's surprise and some really special photos capturing the joyful "YES!" But the surprises weren't over! Christian was persistent in pretending to grab a casual dinner by the beach, while everyone but Dannielle knew they were all actually headed for the very beautiful Geoffrey's in Malibu. Dannielle was overjoyed to find both families waiting to celebrate! Dannielle was also extremely shocked everyone was able to carry out the plan undetected, pulling off the perfect surprise and the perfect day! The most amazing detail behind such a perfectly planned proposal was the unexpected turn of events prior to the big day. Christian had always planned to ask Dannielle's father for his permission properly- in person, man to man. But John, unaware of this plan, took a spur of the moment trip to the lake house leaving Christian no choice but to make the drive there and back in one day. After six hours in his truck Christian had John in on the plan and was back to Burbank before Dannielle was even home from work. What a dedicated and respectable man, two of Dannielle's favorite qualities of his and reasons she loves him so much!
