Daniel and Elizabeth’s journey began in the fall of 2014 when they both started high school at Pius XI High School in Milwaukee, WI. With many mutual friends, they quickly became aware of each other, but it was in their freshman biology class, during mods 5-6, where they first remember seeing one another. That same semester, they also had fitness class together, which gave them their first opportunity to truly connect and start talking.

After a few weeks of getting to know each other, Daniel asked Elizabeth to the Homecoming dance, and she happily said yes. Their connection deepened, and on October 24, 2014, at a Pius football game, Daniel officially asked Elizabeth to be his girlfriend. From that moment on, they were inseparable throughout high school, sharing countless memories and milestones together.

A particularly special moment came in the winter of their senior year when, on the same night, Daniel and Elizabeth both received acceptance letters to their dream school, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, while bowling with friends at Bluemound Bowl in Brookfield, WI. Their journey continued in Madison, WI, where they spent the next four years growing together while earning their bachelor’s degrees.

After graduating, they took the next big step—moving in together for the first time with their cat, Walter (and eventually with their dog, Maple). During this period, Daniel pursued his master’s degree at UW-Madison while Elizabeth took a gap year to gain experience for her Veterinary School applications. Her hard work paid off when she was accepted into the School of Veterinary Medicine at UW-Madison. Around the same time, Daniel embarked on his professional journey with a full-time role in real estate development in Madison.

As the fall of 2023 arrived, Elizabeth began her veterinary school studies while Daniel continued his career. Then, on December 19, 2023—over nine years after they first met—Daniel asked Elizabeth the most important question of his life, and she said yes.

Now, as they prepare to embark on the next chapter together in marriage, Daniel and Elizabeth look forward to continuing to build and grow their love for each other, cherishing every moment as husband and wife.
