Shortly after graduating college, Dani moved to Chattanooga to live with her high school friend, Sarah. About a week later, Chris and Dani were introduced by mutual friends at Chattanooga Billiards Club.

Dani can vividly remember taking off her mask to chat to Chris by the pool tables. Discussing college, their lives, and what brought her to Chattanooga. Dani and Chris instantly clicked so he asked for her number only minutes after talking.

Later that night, Dani invited Chris to Waffle House but instead he offered to cook her brauts at his house (the only thing he knew was gluten free). They ended up going separate ways that night and did not see each other again for 6 weeks.

Why you might ask? Well, Dani stood Chris up on numerous dates and gave excuses as to why she could not be there. Dani had a fear that Chris was too good to be true. Chris was just about to give up when one of his closest friends, Nathan, told him to give it one more shot.

Long story short, Dani showed up the last time and she is SO grateful that she did. Chris and Dani have been inseparable ever since.

They are forever grateful to the people and the places that brought them together. Who would have thought such a wonderful love story could begin in such a smokey college bar? And lots and lots of perseverance! Here's to saying yes forever.
