On September 13, 2016 at 6 o'clock in the morning, Alice walked into to her first shift at Hotel Vermont's restaurant, Juniper. She nearly collided with the barista, Danny, as he was coming out of the kitchen. Danny, a full time musician working at Juniper as a side gig and, Alice, a fresh UVM graduate looking to make some money while figuring out next career steps. Over the next three months of having the same schedule at Juniper, Danny and Alice slowly became very close friends. While all their other friends were working typical 9-5 schedules, their days off were in the middle of the week, and with their shared passion for winter activities, they started going skiing together at Sugarbush. Neither would fully admit they were falling in love with one another until May of 2017 when Alice was slated to travel abroad for two months. They decided before she left that they didn't want this extraordinarily special relationship to end and committed to making it work. Five years later, Danny proposed at Hotel Vermont, where it all began. Thank you Lilly at Juniper, for scheduling us to work that early morning shift!
