Despite the infamous warning from the ever-wise Ronnie Ortiz from the hit MTV television show “Jersey Shore,” we did indeed fall in love at the Jersey Shore. Well, sort of. We met down at a shared shore house that Danny was renting in Belmar, NJ during Labor Day weekend of 2017. We discovered that we had many friends in common thanks to Danny's time growing up in Leonia, NJ and the North Jersey catholic high school scene that Alyssa had been a part of. Numbers were exchanged. Many texts were sent back and forth. "Hang outs" were planned. And six summers later, Danny got down on one knee.
