When Chris and Danielle were mere high school students they were already introduced as Danielle was good friends with his sisters. Chris, a purist at the time, overheard Danielle say something he found to be less than appropriate. That night he went home and told his mother “She is out of the question!”. Fast forward a few years to a young adult dance, where they reconnected. Chris was attending this dance with his friend. They had decided they did not want to dance and were sitting at a table in the corner. Danielle walked in and caught sight of this handsome hunk and went to say hi. A mere 4 hours later of all talking no dancing, Danielle invited Chris to a young adult group she belonged to. Chris attended every meeting 😏 and they became friends very quickly. Fast forward 8 months and Chris is about to leave for Orlando to study motorcycle mechanics at MMI. They decide to start dating on Sept. 19th – one day before he left. Through a long year of long distance, Chris and Danielle would visit each other as often as they could and in October of 2023 Chris graduated and moved home! Happy to be together again they continued to enjoy getting to know each other and discerning marriage together. On December 8th, 2024 Chris finally popped the question!
