This story began at Charter Day in 2008.
Both coaxed into working at a charity booth for a few hours during the town's best day of the year, Dan and Danielle first crossed paths. Legend has it Dan fell in love in that moment, and so began his courtship of Danielle. It didn't take much for Danielle to become equally obsessed with Dan, and it was then that their official love story began. What followed was four incredibly perfect and love-filled years of dating in their youth. They then made mature, yet difficult and foresighted decision of growing individually in their 20's; seizing career dreams in the right-of-passage era of New York City on their own. Throughout the 7 years of growing and changing, the Universe repeatedly brought Dan & Danielle back together in very odd and sporadic ways. Until one day in 2019, Dan asked if he could take Danielle out for dinner for her birthday... the rest was history.
Dan and Danielle have been dating and living together in Tribeca for the last few years. This era has been overflowing with belly laughs, adventure-seeking the beauty in the big and the small things, and blooming dog friendships (s/o Finn & Bailey).
On the last day of Summer in 2022, Dan pulled off a devastatingly epic and shocking (see photos) surprise engagement on their rooftop, with their family and friends watching on the grass below.
Family & Friends mean everything to Dan & Danielle, so when it came to envisioning a wedding, they both immediately craved curating a moment that spanned past a few hours. Block Island is their favorite place on earth! Danielle has been making memories there every summer of her life with her family, and very early in their relationship she introduced this slice of heaven to Dan. They have had so many incredible memories together on this island that it felt like a no brainer to bring their favorite people to their favorite place to celebrate one of the best weekends of their life.
By the way, this is Dan & Danielle writing and yes acting as a third party narrator was indeed very cringey... LOVE Y'ALL!
