We are getting married!

We both grew up knowing of each other back in Downey because Danny played baseball and grew up with Karen’s cousins. However, we met up years after Karen moved out to Newport Beach for college through our mutual friend. One day when Danny went surfing down in Newport he knew Karen lives there and thought he should send her a message on Facebook about meeting up sometime. It took a couple months for us to finally link up but once we did we were inseparable and the rest is history.

We both have pretty big families that we are extremely close with and even though Danny always said he would propose with only the two of us present he secretly knew Karen would want her family there. So when Karen graduated with her masters and her mother wanted to throw a graduation party Danny saw his opportunity. Danny organized for all of our close family and friends to be present on the day. The actual proposal happened towards the end of the party when Karen was opening presents and Danny saved the big present for the end. When he got down on one knee there were about fifty people watching but the moment couldn’t have been more perfect for us.
