Kristen and Danny officially met in Windham, NY in the Fall of 2016 through Kristen's first-cousin, Dan McKallen! They say "officially" because Danny swears he met Kristen much earlier, at one of the many Pearl River St. Patrick's day parades that both attended every year. As Kristen tells it though, in October 2016, she and Dan McKallen planned a weekend trip upstate for their friends from Villanova and Pearl River. Luckily, the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Jensen met in the Catskills that weekend, and the rest was history!

Danny proposed to Kristen at a pier on the Hudson River by their apartment in Dobbs Ferry. Kristen thought they were walking to the train to pick up her sister for dinner. Instead, Danny walked Kristen to the river and got down on one knee! The moment was perfect. Afterwards, the two went to one of their favorite restaurants where their parents and siblings were waiting to celebrate!
