As many of you know, Danny and Meghan first met in Miami, a city that holds a very special place in both of their hearts! Meghan was on a spring break trip with her girlfriends, and Danny was living and working in the city. Danny knew a few of Meghan's friends and met the group out on the town one night...and well...the rest is history! Later that year, Danny returned to Notre Dame for law school, which, as many of you know, is right across the street from Saint Mary's College, where Meghan was in school. It was there that their stereotypical "ND & SMC" romance began! In the years following, Danny and Meghan both completed school and spent time working in Chicago and Miami. Our engagement in 2021 was one of the most special days in our story so far. The story starts with Danny's 30th birthday. As many of you know, Danny is a BIG wine guy, so it made sense that all of his friends and close family would fly out to Napa for a long weekend of wine tasting and sight-seeing to help Danny celebrate the big three-oh! Meghan was under the impression that she was planning the perfect weekend to celebrate Danny, but Danny had other plans. At the famed Opus One winery, Danny dropped to one knee and popped the question. Meghan was completely shocked and beyond excited, and, for both Meghan and Danny, it was a fantastic weekend celebrating the next step in their journey with close family and friends. Over the years, Meghan's and Danny's relationship has blossomed on their love of the outdoors and active lifestyles, appreciation for fine food and wine, passion for Notre Dame and Saint Mary's, and love of family and friends.
