Dan and McKenna’s story began on January 1st, 2022 in Lodi, CA where they met for the first time at Five Window’s Brewery. The New Year always brings in new hopes and promises and on January 1st it promised Dan and McKenna a new adventure. Their connection was immediate and their relationship took off from there.

Over the next few months, they developed a strong bond over their love for their families, Aran, an active life, and a cozy home. For a brief time, Lodi was their home as they fell in love. One of the most memorable days Dan and McKenna had while in Lodi was January 10, 2022. McKenna got accepted into PA school and Dan moved into his first home. It was truly one of the best days. McKenna was working as a Sonographer in Sacramento but knew her educational journey wasn't over. The next adventure for them - this time together - was to start a new beginning in Redlands, CA for McKenna to pursue a Masters degree as a Physician Assistant at Loma Linda University.

Dan and McKenna then embarked on a new journey that would bring us here today! Dan has become quite the patient over the past years. From ultrasounds and physical exams to starting IV’s, McKenna hasn’t scared Dan off yet.

While living in Southern California, over the past year and a half, Dan and McKenna have made many incredible memories. To name a few, Dan finished his first half marathon, McKenna received her white coat, and they, along with McKenna’s sister, Sydney and father, Darin, hiked Half Dome in Yosemite.

To our dear friends and family,

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and we are so thankful to have you be a part of our big day.

This is only the beginning!
