However, at senior prom John won Lyndsey over with his awesome dance moves. - John, the Groom Lyndsey and John met in 2011 when the Milani family moved to Iowa City. Living up to the classic 14 year old standards, Lyndsey was quick to play hard to get and place John in the doomed "friendzone". After four years of pretending she didn't have the biggest crush on him, Lyndsey finally came to her senses. While his dance moves almost scared her away, she locked down Joseph John Milani in 2015 and the rest is history! - Lyndsey, the Bride

John and Lyndsey were on their way to Lake MacBride for drinks prior to dinner with some coworkers; or so Lyndsey thought... The two had some time to kill prior to drinks, so John suggested going to a familiar spot on the water – the peninsula. Upon arriving to the spot, a photographer was off to the side taking “nature pictures”, and eventually approached John and Lyndsey; she asked if she could take their pictures for a project. Not thinking anything of it, Lyndsey and John agreed and began posing for the pictures. The photographer began making small talk and asking questions such as: “Where are you from?”, “How long have you been dating?”, and “Have you ever thought about marriage?”. John was quick to reply “yeahhh, I don’t know!”, while Lyndsey responded “I don’t know, we like each other a lot so maybe in a couple of years”. John then looked at Lyndsey and said, “or we could just do it right now.” He got down on one knee and popped the question. It was the surprise of a lifetime and was perfect in every way!
