About Us

Growing up in Perrysburg, OH we were both blessed with so many wonderful people that came into our lives, including each other! We first officially met in first grade, but never truly got to know each other until later on in high school. Abbie currently attends The Ohio State University and is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Mechanical engineering, while Danny is working on his bachelor's degree in Economics at the United States Military Academy at West Point in New York.

Where It Started

10.10.14

A week after Danny took Abbie to their first high school Homecoming Dance, he decided to make it official! Since 2014 we have been fortunate enough to grow up together and share many memories along the way. Almost every school dance, award ceremony, club meeting, sporting event, military ball, sorority function, and graduation we have been by each other's side. Many letters, facetime calls and road trips were had throughout the years to bring us to where we are today. We are so excited to celebrate the years of love we have had, and will continue to have, with you!

The Proposal

08.01.21

During the Summer of 2021 we planned a trip out west to explore! We visited Colorado, Yosemite National Park, and San Fransisco while we were there. The best part, however, was our engagement! At the beginning of the trip when we were visiting some family in Colorado, we stopped to check out the famous Red Rocks Ampitheater on our way to our post-church brunch. I (Abbie) thought we were just stopping for a quick visit, but Danny had other plans...and a ring! The day before Danny had "gone shooting" with the guys (shoutout Michael and Adam!), while Aunt Jody and I spent way too long in Sephora. What Danny was actually doing was scouting out the perfect place to pop the question the next day. So, as we walked up a beautiful path towards the amphitheater, Danny told me to turn around so he could take an artsy picture of me looking at the view. When I turned back around, he was on one knee, and the rest is history!

What's Next?

After the wedding, we will be headed to Hawaii for some quality time together as husband and wife! We cannot wait to explore the ocean, volcanos, good food, and beaches! Upon returning from the beautiful island, we will be packing up and moving to Fort Rucker, Alabama! We will be sure to fly our Ohio State flag high and proud. Danny will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army and will attend the Aviation Basic Officer Leader Course and flight school at Fort Rucker, AL. Abbie will officially enter the corporate world in August when she starts her work from home position as a design engineer for the Thermal Management Division at Vertiv Co. We are so excited to begin our lives together, and we cannot wait to see what adventure awaits us!
