We first met one another working at a bakery, where we were friends for over a year before we began dating in June of 2019! We have come a long way together since then, and in the fall of 2022 we began seriously discussing marriage and starting a family in the near future. On the day of the proposal, we did all of our favorite things: got coffee, went to the farmers' market, had a home-cooked lunch, watched Em's favorite musical, and had a wonderful dinner out. At the end of the night when we returned home Dan had our home decorated and ready for the proposal. He asked, I said yes! We're so excited to take the next steps in our life together, and we're happy to get to celebrate our love with you all!
