Our Wedding

Although we had been working together for years, our love story began when Danica mentioned she needed to go to Best Buy to buy a new security system and a new TV. Because Best Buy is one of my Mason’s favorite stores, he offered to go with Danica and help her pick them out. Over the next few weeks Danica found A LOT of things around her house she needed Mason’s help with, always thanking him with plenty of food and beer. The next few weeks included beers after work and our first official date- eating Dwayne’s pizza on the floor at Mason’s house. Over the next few years, we found ourselves traveling, spending weekends at our camper, visiting breweries and wineries, hanging with friends and family, and enjoying grilling and drinking on our patio. On November 8, 2023 we got engaged while re-creating our first date (:    Check out below for some of our favorite memories together!
