Our story began during the 2017 Spring Coed Hockey season at Kensington Valley Ice House. Jordan had played on the Mighty Drunks coed team for a few years with her U of M Hockey girls. Dane joined the 2017 season with friends from his home town in Durand. During that season they became friends and stayed in touch after the season was over. Fast forward to the following summer, July of 2018. Dane invited Jordan over for a cookout at his barn. Jordan had just got done shopping with her sister, Liz, in Birch Run and decided to swing by on the way home. The rest is history. As Dane would say, "I invited her over to join for burgers and beers, and she never left". Dane and Jordan enjoy spending time at Dane's Parent's cabins in Mackinaw, St. Ignace, and Tennessee. On May 7th, 2021, while in Tennessee for a long weekend, and with the help of Jordan's sister and some of Dane's close friends, Dane surprised Jordan. He asked the big question, and she said "YES!" Since then, Dane and Jordan came up with the idea of having their wedding in their backyard. They have been enjoying the wedding planning and building the new "wedding venue". AKA Dane's workshop and entertainment barn. They are looking forward to celebrating with their close friends and family! Cheers to the future Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson!
