Story
Danielle and Dustin are thrilled to share in this very special day with all of you, tying the knot in the spot they first met no less!
The year was 2014, and Danielle was hosting a Halloween party in her parent's garage when Dustin arrived dressed as a Super Mario Brother. After an evening battling over the beer pong table, they maintained a friendly relationship for the next 4 years. It wasn’t until a string of bad luck in Kelowna that landed Danielle in need of Dustin's rescue and they started dating.
Danielle was born in Calgary and raised throughout her school years in Chestermere, where she made a few lifelong friends. Most of which can be found in the Bridal Party. She spent her younger years playing sports and doing her best to stay out of trouble, which didn't always work out.
Dustin was born and raised in West Kelowna playing hockey, dirt biking, and essentially driving anything with a motor. Dustin was less successful staying out of trouble, which is one thing that makes this pair two peas in a pod.
Fast forward to 2018, the pair were both in Kelowna where Dustin had swindled Danielle into an innocent mid-evening nightcap. Danielle had accidentally gotten locked out of her Airbnb and thanks to Dustin's generosity, Danielle didn’t have to sleep on the porch swing. It was after that weekend the two's friendship started to progress into a romantic one.
The two moved to NW Calgary in 2021 and are continuously improving their home (and lawn). They enjoy spending summers in BC, and camping outdoors with family, friends, and their good boy Dexter.
They are looking forward to sharing in such a special day with their closest friends and family to send them off into married life!
