In 2015, Danielle met Dan while working at Torta Fina Bakeshoppe in Babylon, NY. Danielle had been working at the store for 1 week when Daniel walked into her life. At the time, Danielle was taken, but when Dan met her, he knew they would one day get married. Over the next 3 years, Danielle and Dan would become friends, working together on weekends, at fairs, and sharing jokes. During the 3 years of friendship, Danielle and Dan went to college and would meet back over the summers, winter breaks, and long holidays working at Torta Fina. During the summer break before Junior year, Dan made his move and asked Danielle to the movie where they saw The Incredibles 2 in theaters. They continued to go on a few dates during the summer, but in no time it was the Fall semester and Danielle had to go back to Delaware. Within the first month of Junior year, Dan visited Danielle at the University of Delaware where he asked Danielle to be his girlfriend. Danielle and Dan dated for 5 years and 2 months before Dan popped the question at Del Vino Vineyards. Danielle was completely in shock and over the moon when Dan asked. It was the first time Dan had completely surprised Danielle since she was always playing detective.
