Danny and Brookleyn met through mutual friends/coworkers over summer break while they were both away at college in Salina, KS. Said friends did their best to play matchmaker for Danny and Brookelyn, but it didn't quite work out like they had hoped, with Danny and Brookelyn becoming good friends instead. Their first 'unofficial date' was going to see Wonder Woman in theatres together, after that they continued to chat while Danny was out on a skiing trip. Perhaps distance made the heart grow fonder and when he returned they went on their first official date! (Without the meddling of their well intentioned friends) Three years of dating later Danny proposed on the coast of Lincoln, Oregon at sunset. Brookelyn said yes, of course, to the background cheers of random beach dwellers! They promptly moved back to Kansas and are so excited to get married in front of friends and family in Newton, Ks.
