If you've ever watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy, then you know that the nurse and doctor connection is real. Danielle had been a nurse for 2 years at The University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital. In October of 2016, Michael was only a few months into his pediatric residency program at Comer. He would walk by Danielle's desk daily as the Physical Therapy office was down the hall. Michael had seen Danielle numerous times while working with mutual patients. On one fall afternoon, Michael stopped by the desk on his way out. A laugh and smile was exchanged at first, followed by a Facebook message. A few days later (10.21.16) the two went out for a "Piece Pizza" slice. Michael was drawn to Danielle the moment they sat down. Danielle was focused on the Cubs World Series run. She knew Michael was special too since she was not even the slightest bit upset with their loss. She had met the one! Needless to say, this first date was followed by many more to come which led us to 7.26.19...

South Haven, Michigan is a city special to Danielle and Michael individually. Both have fond memories of their time visiting the beach town as kids. Chances are they were there the same weekend, at the same time over the years, but it was not the right time for them to meet. Michael's parents were going on their annual vacation. Danielle and Michael were looking forward to a nice long weekend off work. Little did Danielle know, this weekend would be a once in a lifetime, unforgettable trip. Danielle and Michael left for a nice morning walk down to the iconic South Haven Lighthouse. Michael was extremely nervous and per Danielle said "beautiful day today huh?" five separate times in the short 15 minute walk. He was nervous but for good reason. In his pocket sat the ring that would change both of their lives for the better. Once at the end of the pier, without hesitation, Michael knelt to one knee and asked Danielle to make him the happiest man in the world. She of course said yes which has led us to 8.30.20...

As of August 30th Danielle and Michael were set to be husband and wife. Then Coronavirus came and gave them the gift of an extension to their engaged couple status. As their jobs in the hospital became increasingly busy, they realized adding a wedding on top of it all just didn't make sense! 2020 has been full of enough excitement, so Danielle and Michael wanted to ensure that you have something to look forward to in 2021. Unfortunately, they made the difficult decision to postpone their wedding until August 8, 2021. But do not worry, they have no doubt that their new wedding date will be worth the wait! 

Their wedding was the most wondrous, magical, and romantic of weddings. Now you may be asking yourself how do we know all of this when the wedding hasn't happened yet? The answer is simple- you're on this website because you've played a special part in the lives of our soon to be newlyweds. There's not a doubt in Danielle and Michael's mind that the big day will live up to their every expectation! So what are you waiting for? An invitation? Don't worry, it'll be there before you know it and Danielle and Michael can't wait to celebrate their love surrounded by all of the people they love!
