We met in 2014 while attending Miami University. After being introduced on multiple occasions by mutual friends, we crossed paths, again, while at a restaurant with friends. While there, Danny unexpectedly stood up on a chair and announced to the crowded restaurant “I’m in love with this girl - I wrote a song about her and I’m going to marry her.” Surprisingly, two of the three statements turned out to be true. (Spoiler: MonnieLynn hasn’t heard a song about her yet…) We immediately become inseparable. From MonnieLynn pretending to study at King Library to have an excuse to see Danny to Danny meeting MonnieLynn’s parents for the first time on his 21st birthday (sorry Mom + Dad!), we quickly transitioned from friends to best friends to dating. We dated through the remainder of college, then took on the challenge of a long distance relationship following graduation as MonnieLynn moved to Pittsburgh and Danny returned to Boston. After a year of distance, we knew we could never be apart again and MonnieLynn (along with Rooney, of course) reunited with Danny in Boston. Since then, we have settled in East Boston where Rooney enjoys long walks along the harbor and terrorizing the neighborhood. Seven years later, Danny finally made good on his word from the restaurant and, this time formally, asked MonnieLynn to marry him. We are elated to begin this next chapter in our lives and cannot wait to celebrate with our loved ones. With Love, MonnieLynn + Danny
