We met right before everything locked down due to COVID-19 - and went from a handful of normal dates to basically living together in the span of three months. We were there for each other during a lot of hard times throughout the pandemic - Danielle's struggles with anxiety and long hours from a stressful job, and Bennett being displaced due to an apartment lease falling through. We formed a strong bond and a strong friendship during that time, building a foundation that would have taken years in a normal situation.
We got the hard part out of the way first, and have been making up for the fun and freedom we missed out on at the beginning of our relationship ever since - travelling, becoming part of each other's friend groups and family, moving in together (officially), adopting 2 kittens (Bugsy and Lola) and most recently buying our first house.
We are excited to celebrate our wedding with all of our family and friends (and we mean ALL, because we know Bennett spares no invitation!)
