Dan and Stephanie met at City Light Church on a warm Sunday morning in August of 2017. Dan was volunteering and Stephanie had just joined the church. They began a friendship at first, awaiting to see each other every Sunday and always hoping to run into each other at Monday small group. They slowly began getting to know each other throughout the months and FINALLY (lol) started dating June 2, 2018 š Their first date was at Kennedys Irish Pub in Waterford MI. Which they would, a couple years later, buy a house together a few miles from in January 2020. They bonded over their love for the arts, photography, Mug Root Beer, travel, and animals. Eventually getting a (not so mini iykyk) Dachshund, naming him Zucchini Eugene Bilan, in 2020! Who has become their little best friend. On August 30th, 2023 (lol Jessie) Dan proposed to Stephanie at Kvernufoss, Iceland during their Europe trip. They celebrated their engagement in Malta where Stephanie's family is from. They also got to visit Uncle Karl and Gaelle in France to witness their beautiful wedding. Then ended their trip in the romantic city of Paris, and famous Ratatouille movie set location. And the rest is history! They are so excited for you all to join them in their next chapter of life.
