Danielle and Andrew’s shared love of music led them to Rock & Roll Pizza, a charmingly grungy pizza joint/ local music venue in Moorpark. Not expecting to meet his future wife, Andrew was dressed like the relaxed, nerdy video game developer he was, complete with khaki shorts, tall socks, and a funky mustache. Fortunately, Andrew’s friend pulled him up on stage to sing with the band, giving him the opportunity to impress Danielle enough to agree to a date. From that moment on they were inseparable.
Andrew wanted to return to the bench where he had asked Danielle to be his girlfriend to propose. But the challenges of 2020 made it near impossible. Adorning the backyard with all the lights and flowers available during a pandemic, Andrew led Danielle to the patio. The couple shared a simple, intimate moment where Andrew asked Danielle to be his wife. Andrew then led her out the back gate and to the main street, where their family, close friends, and even Danielle's horse Radar were waiting to congratulate the newly engaged couple. Danielle and Andrew are so excited to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter in their lives with all of their family and friends.
