We're getting married!

Oh, what a night. Our stars aligned on the first night of summer. It was Dani's last day of her first year of teaching. To celebrate, a coworker had a party that eventually migrated to a local bar where another coworker was bartending. This coworker happened to be serving a customer-turned-friend. This is when Will comes in. When a big group of his high school teachers walked in, he became a part of the group immediately, but Dani only had eyes for him. She made it pretty obvious with her hair twirling and excessive staring. They spent the rest of the night together and ended it planning their first date. They've been together every day since.

First, Will had to ask Will (Dani's dad), of course. Although dad might have thought that something tragic happened to his only daughter when Will pulled up to his house alone, he found a way to calm his nerves. Dad said yes first. Then, it was time to ask Dani. Will planned a weekend when he would ask and invited the Hartnett cousins (aka Dani's favorite people on planet earth) to come to Indy. Everyone was so excited, especially dad; however, his excitement was hard to notice once the big moment came. When Will got down on one knee in Dani's parents' kitchen, dad was sitting on the couch watching a Peyton Manning special. This didn't hinder the excitement of the moment though. That excitement seemed even more meaningful when we walked outside and saw a beautiful rainbow. We celebrated with champagne and pizza and games. Of course.
