Danielle and Joe started catching each other’s eyes in high school. From love notes in lockers, prom-posals in parking lots, and hallway smiles - the love story began. Joe asked Danielle to their first dance, the Freshman-Sophomore Hop. Danielle was over the moon because that meant she was going to finally get his phone number! Yay! This led to Homecoming dances, Proms, and first dates. Joe started missing baseball practices to get milkshakes at Kelly’s with Danielle and to get (of course) more ice-cream at Friendly’s for their first date. The most important ice-cream date was at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield. This was where Joe asked Danielle to be his girlfriend, where he told her he loved her, and where they got engaged in 2024, 11 years later.
