One fateful November night in 2019 as Dani was caring for her zoo of animals, she took a break to open up Tinder. She swiped left on several profiles until she came across a photo of Michael and his date at the Marine Corps Ball. His bio started with "No that is not my girlfriend. That's my sister!" and with a chuckle she kept reading. She swiped right, they matched, and it all began! They chatted through out the following days, Michael proudly showed off his new pit bull Keen that he adopted, and Dani sent plenty of snapchats of her dog, Champ. Then in a plot twist, she decided she would swear off all men for a whopping 9 whole days and ghosted Michael... Yes, NINE DAYS... Not two weeks as Michael claims... Anyway, she chose to message him back and finally go out on their first date. They went to a brewery, she finally got to meet his dog, and they watched Aristocats until she called it a night and a second date was promised. Life said, "buckle up buttercups" and hit fast forward on their story. Each met their future in laws within the first two weeks of dating, they became inseperable and spent the holiday season together, then *surprise* along came those two pink lines, moving in together, braving the pandemic world together, getting engaged, welcoming Paisley into the world, then Beckett, then finally Josie, and so many more memories along the way. Their story started in 2019, they have been engaged since 2020, and in 2025 Dani is #finallyareynolds !
