Q + A

Where did John propose?

The prettiest place on earth, Swallow Ridge, overlooking the Deal's family farmland.

How did John propose?

Danielle "walked right into it" and John took her by surprise, dropping down to one knee as the sun set against the western sky. Danielle reportedly said, "are you sure?!?" and John replied, "well of course, I'm holding the ring!" Followed by joyous affirmations and near tears (on Danielle's part).

When did John propose?

6 months after their first date, and 4 months before their wedding.

Any honeymoon plans?

John and Danielle are considering Cabo, Mexico or Honolulu, Hawaii. Suggestions are welcome, and the tickets have yet to be booked!

Why Auburn, Indiana, for the Ceremony and Reception?

Although Danielle no longer lives near Auburn, the city is home to her childhood stomping grounds and backdrop to many memories. It is also close to John's home town of Leo.

Where will the couple live?

Duff and Deal will be sharing a home in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the North East side of town. Come and visit!
