The Wait Is Over!

Cole and Danielle met in the year 2000 inside the Freeport High School music department where they both worked on the production of "The Sound of Music". Cole was Stage Manager and Danielle had a thrilling 1-line debut, but the grand finale left everyone in shock & awe. HERE'S THE TRUE STORY: Danielle almost walked on stage with gum in her mouth -blasphemy, we know- but before she could, Cole reached out his hand in attempt to say "I'll hold your gum" and before they both knew it, there was a slimy & flavorless piece of gum resting in Cole's palm. He held it for the entire duration of her stage performance and when she walked backstage, she happily popped it back in her mouth for further chewing. The rest is history! Cole and Danielle dated for just over 3 years in high school into college, but since their early love story is a little complicated, the two decided they met at the wrong place at the wrong time in 2005. CUT TO >>> THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME ;) In September of 2012, Cole planted in the audience for Sleeping Beauty where Danielle starred as the Evil Queen Maleficent and the theatre brought them back to the familiar feelings of love all over again. By Danielle's birthday in October, the two had fallen back in love. In June of 2013, Cole and Danielle moved in together in sunny Charlotte, NC for a fresh new start. After 2 years there, Cole proposed to Danielle on Christmas Eve 2015 by wrapping her engagement ring inside of one of their favorite movies, The Labrynth. They knew that they could never be apart again. Now Cole & Danielle are homeowners in Charlotte where they live with their 5 fur-babies: Oliver, Bella, Sonny, Tyson & Linus. After a 5-year engagement, Cole and Danielle can barely wait to say "I do" on March 28, 2020. This significant date represents 20 years that the couple has known one another as well as their first kiss/anniversary from High School.
