Danielle and Christian first met back in the summer of 2019. Danielle started a new summer job at a high ropes zipline course, part of Hellerick's Family Farm in Plumsteadville, where Christian was already a seasoned employee. Christian had the obligation to train Danielle as the new employee which quickly turned into the best part of the job. They quickly became close friends until the fall came and Danielle had to move to Philadelphia to start college. They kept in touch here and there until Christian got shipped off to basic training in march the following year. Both knew they had something special and it would soon become clear through the letters they wrote each other while Christian was away. As soon as he got back they met again for their first date at Lake Nockamixon and enjoyed the first 9 months of their relationship at home until June of the following year when Christian left again for deployment. Although it was an even longer wait than before, their relationship was strengthened by the distance, and when Christian got home in May the next year it was not long before he asked Danielle to marry him that same summer.
