If you're reading this, you may already know how our story together began, but what you may not have known was that Sarah extended the match on Bumble for 24 hours in order to figure out the perfect way to say, Hi, hope you're having a good Tuesday! (note for those over age 39: Bumble is an online dating app where people share photos of themselves and add comments like, message me if you like hiking or I get way too excited about...Dogs)

Daniel was in fact having a good Tuesday, but the next few days were even better since he had a first date to look forward to with Sarah. Monday night Winter Lights at the Cleveland Zoo.

Their Way-too-Romantic-for-a-First-Date-on-Bumble actually turned out to be full of Hallmark Channel roleplaying, full-belly laughter, and a bit of adventure that may or may not have ended with a kiss. A true gentleman doesn't kiss and tell.

After a few more dates, on January 8, 2022, Daniel asked Sarah to be his girlfriend at Princess Ledges in Strongsville, Ohio.

Fast-Forward to the reason you're all here...

On Sunday, December 10, 2023, Daniel had a heart-to-heart talk with Sarah's dad, Mr. Gary Krieger in their garage. It was on this day that Daniel asked for his blessing to marry Sarah. Moments later, Daniel went to Jared, the Galleria of Jewelry, to purchase an engagement ring and prepare to pop the BIG QUESTION while on vacation together in Disney World.

There, nearby Cinderella's Wishing Well in Disney's Magic Kingdom, Daniel made the ultimate wish, throwing a coin quickly into the well before dropping to one knee. Before he could say a word, Sarah exclaimed, Nooooo! - Sarah did not actually mean that, she was just caught off-guard. She is a planner, and this was a complete surprise. She later let Daniel ask her properly and of course, she said Yes.

This Big Day, April 26, 2025, will be the moment where Daniel and Sarah both choose to not only say, Yes, to getting married, but exchange vows and say, I Do, to a lifetime together in love.
