Our story started in January 2014. Danielle’s sorority sister, Sarah and her family had been living in Lincoln, CA where they became good friends with their neighbor, Phil Merrill. After learning of Phil’s passion for dirt biking, 4 wheelin, camping in his toy hauler, and boating, she thought we might hit it off! Well the three of us went on a date and she introduced us. After a few months of witty texting and meeting up at Yardhouse when Danielle was on the way to or from Tahoe, we officially started dating April 27th 2014 on the beach in Half Moon Bay. Our first puppy, Colby, came in April 2015. Then Ember in August 2016. Danielle officially moved to Lincoln in September 2016 and moved in with Phil. We got engaged October 27, 2018 right before hopping in to a sunset cruise hot air balloon ride over Rancho Murieta. What a ride this has been! Thank you so much family and friends for sharing in this journey. We are thrilled to celebrate our marriage with all of you! Check out our wedding venue: Field and Pond www.fieldandpond.com
