Our Wedding

<p style="text-align: left;">Who would have thought that a Daniel and a Danielle would find one another and end up getting married?!   It's the classic saying of you find them when you're not looking.   In mid-June of 2019, Daniel and Danielle happened to get invited to the same party. He was working with a gentleman at work that was the husband of Danielle's co-worker. She invited Danielle to their party to find her husband. Danielle didn't care at all about this, and only planned to stay for a short time and not talk to any boys! Daniel was already there and also didn't have much interest in talking to anyone for any serious reasons. But of course, they ended up talking for over an hour and exchanged numbers that night. They had their first date a week later, and then a second date two days later, and the rest is history!  <br /><br />  It wasn’t until September 5th, 2021 that Daniel took Danielle to The Park of Roses in Clintonville, Ohio to propose. He was hoping for a fall bloom of the roses, but sadly and hilariously nothing was in bloom! But that didn’t stop him from his master plan. They walked around the park and Danielle was highly enjoying the names of all the roses, and Daniel was being extra cheesy and flirty and romantic as they walked along. Danielle didn’t suspect a thing! Funny, right? But at one point, Daniel mentioned that he wanted to come back when the roses are in bloom. That’s when Danielle thought sadly to herself, “Aww….he wants the roses to be in bloom when he proposes…I’ll have to wait till spring….*sigh*…more waiting.” So she didn’t think another thought of proposals for the rest of the walk. Daniel then said he wanted to go back to the little white gazebo they passed on their way in. So they did, and sat in this adorable gazebo on these comically small metal benches. Unbeknownst to Danielle, Daniel had the ring box wrapped in a tissue in his hand and was very nervous!! Danielle notices how he starts to talk all romantic and starts saying all these things, “You know, we were here two years ago on our second date. We were different people then, and we’re different people now. We’ve made each other better people!…” and Danielle is kind of confused….she’s thinking to herself, yes? All these things are true, and?? Danielle doesn’t seem to be getting the hint of where Daniel’s going with this speech. Danielle gets a text at the perfect time, so she looks away at her phone. Daniel then says, “Oh no, I dropped the tissue…I should pick that up…” Danielle is wondering why he’s acting all weird, and says “Yes, ya nerd. Pick it up?” So then Daniel stands up, stands there for an awkward moment, and then turns around in front of Danielle and gets on one knee. Danielle eyes become as big as the moon as Daniel says “Will you laugh with me forever?” Danielle is so shocked she doesn’t even laugh or cry or make any noise!! She doesn’t say anything for so long, that Daniel actually says “Sooo…ideally this is when you say yes.” Danielle is shaken from her trance and grabs Daniel and says yes! They then sit there together under the little white gazebo on a beautiful late summer evening as they talk and cry together as the next part of their life has now begun.</p>
