Danny and Sue serendipitously encountered each other through a blind date, embarking on their first meeting without any prior knowledge or social media sleuthing. Their rendezvous took place at Dave & Buster's in the heart of the city, accompanied by Sue's friend Julie and her husband, James. Little did they know, this chance encounter would mark the beginning of their journey together.

Over the years, Danny and Sue have cherished leisurely strolls along the picturesque Evanston lakefront, adjacent to Northwestern University. Envisioning the perfect setting for a momentous occasion, Danny enlisted the support of his sister Maria, his brother-in-law Tim, and beloved extended family members Angie and John to orchestrate the proposal at this idyllic locale.
