The Story of Jessica & Danny

Picture of The Story of Jessica & Danny

They first met in 2019 at work as acquaintances before Jessica jet-set across the world for her work. It wasn't until 2021 when they reconnected as friends. Jessica asked Danny to an Orangetheory class (which everyone knows she loves - should've been a sign). Their first date was a movie night at Danny's place to watch King Kong and eat Mexican food. Since that night, they have been inseparable because it seems they were meant for each other.


Their story has been a whirlwind of traveling and making new memories. They combined their families when Jessica moved into Danny's house at the end of 2022. Their household consists of Rogue, the greyhound, and three cats- Cat, Kitten, and Chip. It's a fun, but crazy (and furry) household! Their favorite trips have actually been to their friends' many weddings - to Colorado, Mexico, New York. They also enjoyed leisure trips to Washington D.C., Traverse City, and Hocking Hills. They have also visited China (first time for Danny) in March of 2024! When not traveling, they enjoy gardening, cooking new recipes, and beating everyone at pub trivia.


In early 2023, they went on a fun tasting menu trip of Europe to the countries of Norway, Czechia, Austria, England, the Netherlands, and Denmark, in that order. In Prague, Danny proposed to Jessica on the Charles Bridge; he decided to do it that day while soaking in a beer spa. He just couldn’t wait. It was a complete surprise to Jessica - she was playing Pokémon Go when this happened! When Danny got down on one knee, tears were flowing - then he dropped the ring. A crowd had formed, and everyone cheered when Jessica said yes! (No worries - no harm was done to the ring but it makes for a great story.)


In November 2023, they ended up legally tying the knot with their close family and friends witnessing because they wanted their lives to start as soon as possible. They are having this ceremony and reception in 2024 for the rest of their family and friends who could not be there on that day. Thanks for being a part of this story and they can't wait to see you in August!
