We’re getting married!

Our story began in 2014 during the Spring semester of our Freshman year at the University of Kansas. Having never met each other in person (but having shared several mutual friends in college), we agreed to go on a blind date together not knowing just what we were getting ourselves into. On March 29th at the Theta Chi Spring Formal, we finally met, and, needless to say, we hit it off. The night we met —a night, filled with memories of laughing, dancing, and sharing stories of our past— was one of the most magical nights of our lives. We knew then that what we had was something special and that we wanted to be together. It may not have been love at first sight, but it was pretty darn close. Soon after that night several more equally wonderful dates followed, and one month later on the hill by Potter Lake we agreed to start a long distance relationship —a relationship, which lasted through that summer and many summers more. The rest is history.

What started out as a simple family vacation quickly turned into one of the most unforgettable trips. Lucas and Danielle got engaged on June 25, 2018 after dating for nearly four years. What came as a total surprise to Danielle was a long awaited day for Lucas. The plan had been put into motion weeks before the moment ever occurred. Lucas had been planning a family vacation, with his parents and Danielle's, to her favorite place... Seaside, Florida. When the day finally came Lucas took Danielle to one of their most beloved restaurants in Seaside, Bud and Alley's, where they sat overlooking the waves. After a romantic dinner, full of laughing and reminiscing, they headed down to the beach to watch the sun set. As the waves were crashing and the sun was setting Lucas got down on one knee and popped the question. Little did they know a photographer had captured it all... a fairytale end to a perfect date on the best vacation.
