Growing up, you meet some of your closest friends along the road of life. Some will be friends that will stay in your life forever, like those involved in our wedding party. The places you meet these friends vary from high school, college, and church. For Dani and I, we shared a high school, college, and church experience between Bentonville High School, The University of Central Arkansas, and New Life Church. We both met some of the closest people in our lives at these locations but somehow managed to never meet each other. Upon our return to Northwest Arkansas, Dani continued to work her way through paying for school at the local Grub's in Rogers, AR, while I pursued my career with Sam's Club. Luckily for us, our love of food would be the one thing that introduced us. Dani was working as my server at Grub's one afternoon when we kept connecting eyes. She never once spoke to me during my hour and a half lunch but I knew there was something special about her. While most may consider Dani a shy person, she managed to do what I couldn't, shoot the first shot by sending me a message on Instagram.
