Kate and Dan grew up summering at Woodledge, a swim and tennis club in Glastonbury, CT. In summer 2011, Kate and Dan were both lifeguarding and working the arts and crafts station during swim lessons. Most kids spent their time in the pool, so Kate and Dan spent lots of time together. Their summer fling included dressing as Tarzan and Jane for the annual pool Family Night, as well as winning Mr. Wood and Mrs. Ledge lifeguard superlatives. Sadly, their summer came to an end and so did their fling as they both started their senior year of high school at separate schools. Fast forward 7 years through college and the start of "real life," Kate and Dan's paths finally crossed again in 2018 when Kate was finishing up grad school in New Haven and Dan was living in Stamford. Thanks to Snap Map and some wishful thinking, Dan saw Kate close by and asked if she and some friends wanted to join him and his friends at a Hartford Yard Goats game. Kate said yes, none of her friends did, but they spent the night catching up. It didn't take long for the spark to rekindle, and Kate and Dan have been inseparable ever since! In May 2022, Dan invited Kate and her family to a Cinco-de-Mayo party at the Hunt's lake house in Coventry, CT. Little did Kate know, there was a larger plan in play. Dan drove by the house to a small beach across the lake where he got down on one knee and proposed! Through streams of tears, Kate said yes, yes, yes. Kate and Dan are counting down the days to celebrate their marriage with all the people they love!
