In the quaint town of Huntley, our story began in 1999. Paths crossed when 12-year-old Danny met 8-year-old Ariel in the Winge Point subdivision. Little did we know that serendipitous encounter would blossom into a beautiful love story, though we didn't even realize it yet.

From growing up together to late-night phone calls from Germany, the match never sparked; the timing must not have been right in 2008.

As years passed, our paths crossed again, from dinner at Kyoto Japanese Restaurant to Brunswick bowling. The match sparked but never stood a chance; the timing must not have been right in 2015.

Then, in 2018, our paths met at a crossroad, stopping us in our tracks. The heavens intervened, sparked that match, and let it burn. The stars began to align, and our love grew like wildfire. From late-night conversations to spontaneous adventures, our connection deepened, and we knew we were meant to be. Within 4 short years, we moved in together, bought a car, bought a home and moved to Lake in the Hills, got a dog, built our careers from the bottom up, and created our paradise.

One chilly night in March 2023, the timing was perfectly right. Underneath the American Legion bar lights, a proposal from Danny unfolded. With a heartfelt moment surrounded by friends, he embraced her with the promise to forever.

Please join us at this time in December of 2024 to say "I do" as we promise this love for eternity. - A
