Dana and Daniel's love story began in the summer of 2019, though it wasn’t their first encounter. Growing up, they were always at the same dances, club events, and social outings, their paths crossing time and time again. Every summer, they found themselves spending more time together, growing closer and enjoying each other's company as they explored the lake around them. It was a playful, on-and-off summer fling, filled with lighthearted fun and the steady flow of getting to know one another better. By the summer of 2023, after years of shared memories and a blossoming connection, they decided to take the leap and exclusively date. That summer, love took root, and they knew they were meant to be. Now, with their marriage on the horizon, half the lake will soon be related, all thanks to the union of the Cotter and Donohue families!
