Dan and Olivia both reached out to their mutual friend Ashley Charleson on a random Tuesday night in February. Ashley was hosting a music and movies trivia night at the Logan Theater in Chicago. After a fun night of trivia on the same team, fast forward a few months and Olivia and Dan were reunited at Ashley's birthday party in June. That night they danced until the sun came up and were inseparable ever since! Thanks to our friends, family and our guardian angels for aligning our paths!

On a 65 degree day, the 16th of October in Rhododendron, Oregon, Dan and Olivia were united in marriage. Our family members as witnesses: Nancy Allen, Melissa Stephens Morris, Cindy Jankowski, Ken and Beverly Jankowski. And of course Klaus! We were surrounded by evergreens and ferns, and gentle rays of sun glistening through the trees. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! We are so excited to have our reception party to celebrate our union!
