How We Met

1/17/2017

We were both with our own friends group, when Danielle decided to start a "poke war" on Facebook with Derek. After several hours, Derek gave up and continued his night with friends. That next morning, Danielle woke up and messaged Derek "you gave up already?". The bickering back and forth started, until we chose to meet in person. When we first met in person, it was January and the ground was covered in snow. Derek slipped on his snow covered porch steps, caught himself, stood back up putting his hand out to greet and said "Hey, I'm Derek". It is a story we will never forget.

The Proposal

11/8/2020

We were walking through Asylum Point Park in Oshkosh, taking family photos for our friends. We spent a while looking for the perfect spots to capture their family beautifully. Once we were wrapping up and about to leave, they asked if weI would love to get a photo together. When Danielle turned around to grab Derek for a photo, he began to kneel and said "to all the questions you have been asking, the answer is yes! I love you with all of my heart, and want to spend the rest of my life with you."

For all the days along the way
