We met in 2012, in 8th grade, when Hudson transferred to Aquinas Middle School. We were good friends and attended our freshman and junior year Sadie Hawkin's dances together but remained "just friends" until late in our senior year. In February 2017, we finally exited the "friend zone" and started dating in March 2017.

We attended our own separate colleges, across the state from each other (254 miles to be exact). Dani at St Norbert College and Hudson at UW River Falls. We found ways to visit each other as often as we could.

In 2021, we both graduated and moved back to La Crosse to start our careers- Hudson working as a financial advisor and Dani as a social worker at the county. We moved in together in November 2021.

In 2024, the day after closing on our house, Hudson proposed in the living room of our first home together! The day was perfect, and well worth the wait!!

We can't wait to celebrate our marriage together with all of our friends and family!
