Believe it or not, Danny and Abbey met on Tinder! Abbey had just downloaded the app for the very first time one night before the start of her junior year of college. Meanwhile, that same night, Danny's roommates convinced him to download the app too. They matched shortly after and Danny broke the ice with a classic pick up line:

"Pancakes or waffles? 🤔"

That line started a passionate conversation about pancakes and led to chatting all night and into the next day. They haven't stopped talking since!

For the next few years, Abbey and Danny spent the best of their college years together at UW - La Crosse and eventually graduated together. After graduation, they moved into their first apartment in La Crosse and adopted their first pup - a dachshund mix named Lilo!

In May 2022, Danny and Abbey (and Lilo!) moved to Waukesha for new job opportunities and to be closer to their families. During the best times and the not-so-great times, Danny and Abbey were there for each other through it all. They marvel at how far they've come together and how lucky they are to have each other during life's biggest moments.

April 2023 rolls around and Danny and Abbey plan to go to a simple dinner with their parents. They planned dinner at Dockers in Fox Lake, Illinois. During summers in college and during the pandemic when they lived with their parents, this was Abbey and Danny's iconic "halfway point." They would sit by the water or walk around the small town and dream about their future.

Abbey and Danny arrived a little early to dinner and reminisced about how they are now living the dream they've always talked about. It was at that moment, right on the water, that Danny got down on one knee and asked Abbey to marry him. Through lots of happy tears, Abbey said, "yes."

Abbey and Danny cannot wait to share their love with their closest friends and family on their wedding day. Thank you to everyone who has helped them get here, especially their parents, siblings, and closest friends. And Tinder 🔥
