A simple tap on the shoulder and a simple question started our journey over 6 years ago. As I (Della) turned around to see who wanted to dance with me at our local Swing Dance Club, I was not expecting to see a young man dressed in gray from head to toe with long curly hair and thick glasses. I wasn't too intrigued but I said yes. I'm so happy I did!!!! Three hours later he had my number and one month later we had our first day (on Valentines Day no less!). After 6 months of small dates and hours of conversations, we started dating. Fast forward 6 years and the anniversary of our first date is around the corner. Like every good girl, I had imagined, dreamed and thought up dozens of ways Michael would propose. To this day I thank God that I forgot about one possibility. On Feb. 14th, 2020 at the Lititz Fire and Ice Festival, Michael got down on one knee under the stars in a local garden and asked me to be his wife. Even though the past 6 years haven't been the smoothest and we both have seen each other through many ups and downs, I cannot wait to dance through life with my best friend and my Dearest Gift from God!
