Call it fate, or a happy coincidence, but we will never forget the night we met: May 17, 2019. - Katie was in town from Purdue University in search of an apartment after accepting a faculty position at UW-Whitewater. She joined some college friends downtown to watch the Bucks game--an event Dan happened to be at. Through contact with a mutual friend (and now groomsman), Dan and Katie ended up at the same bar following the game. And the rest is history. What started as a casual night out with drinks and conversation quickly led to something more serious. Katie coincidentally (although intentional in Dan's mind), rented an apartment in the building next door and these two neighbors fell in love. And on August 7, 2021, Dan asked Katie to marry him on their two year anniversary. - So just a little over three years later, which has included travel, a pandemic, two moves, new jobs, adopting the cutest pup, and buying a house, we cannot wait for our wedding and to begin our MARRIED life together!
