We’re getting married!

Technically, the first time we met, CJ thought Danielle was her friend Ashley so that doesn't count. Eventually, in our sophomore year of college at the University of Wisconsin, we had our stereotypical true love moment. CJ hobbled across the 4th floor lounge of his fraternity house in his walking boot to dance away the final hours of the night with Danielle. Flash forward 10ish years and although CJ never technically asked Danielle out, we are happily engaged to be married and can't wait to celebrate with everyone on June 1!

We were on vacation in Bruges, Belgium. We walked around Minnewater Park so that I could find the perfect spot to pop the question. Overlooking the canals, Danielle rested her head on my chest and thought she might have to call for help, as my heart was pounding! Luckily, I calmed my nerves and asked the easiest question I've ever asked in my entire life. As Danielle famously said to friends and family, "the good news is that CJ proposed. The bad news is that I was wearing gym shoes."
