We're getting married!

It's interesting how life introduces you to the person you are meant to spend the rest of your days with. Dannielle and Ian met on a steamy summer evening at the Sandbar in Surf City, North Carolina. Ian took center stage at Karaoke while singing Mr. Brightside by The Killers. Ian was attracted to Dannielle's elegant and feminine aura and she was attracted to his uncanny and unique dance moves and tantalizing personality. Fast forward two weeks, Dannielle invited Ian to join her on her marathon training run. She never expected, on top of amazing dance moves, he would also be able to keep up with her blistering pace. In spite of Dannielle just wanting to have fun for the summer, Ian was persistent and convinced Dannielle to go on a date to Dead Crow Comedy in Wilmington, NC. It might have been the comedy club, the adult beverages, or Ian's almost tangible admiration for Dannielle, but she finally agreed to date him. The following seven months were filled with traveling, good food, deepening emotional connection, and plans to start life together. Sometimes life gives you twists and turns. Dannielle took a turn and Ian took a twist.

Fast forward to 2024, Dannielle and Ian rekindled those dormant emotions from 2016. THERE WAS NO STOPPING THEM. They turned the distance between Utah and North Carolina into an opportunity to travel and create awesome memories as they began life anew. From Shoshone Falls in Idaho to the glorious camp showers at Tybee Island, Georgia, Dannielle and Ian only grew more emboldened to share a life together as husband and wife. In May of 2024 they found out they really did create a life together (enter in Baby Jeffrey Fitz). With Dannielle no longer able to travel to Utah, the airport Delta lounge became Ian's second temporary home while he visited her (and budding baby Jeffrey) in North Carolina. After getting Dannielle's parents' blessing, Ian popped the question on August 25th, 2024 for the first time in his life. Fortunately for him, Dannielle responded in the affirmative. Life moved pretty fast after that. Ian returned to his adult roots in North Carolina and moved in with Dannielle. Their first-born, Jeffrey, entered the world on March 5th, 2025 which marked the true beginning of their young family. If you're still reading this, 1.) we're impressed, and 2.) thank you for considering attending our nuptials. We promise great food, a healthy amount of dancing, karaoke... all skill levels welcome, and most importantly - LOVE ALL AROUND!
