Our story began in High School 14 years ago, we both attended Wayne High School with most of our interactions through the marching band and warriorettes program. Even though we were both shy at the time, it was clear through our friendship how much we admired each other. Benjamin graduated high school in 2010 and Danielle in 2011. Benjamin attended Central State University for Environmental Engineering and Danielle attended Northern Michigan and Cardinal Stritch University for Nursing. In 2014 Benjamin and Danielle reconnected through texting and phone calls and decided to enter into a long distance relationship. Danielle lived in Milwaukee, WI and Benjamin in Dayton, OH. After Danielle graduated with her nursing degree in 2018 she moved to Dayton to be close to Benjamin. Being long distance was tough, but allowed them to build a great foundation. This led to Benjamin proposing in April 2019 at Marlin's Comedy Pub in Milwaukee, WI.
