The Story of DanDan
Daniel - "I first met Danielle many years ago, but the true Story of DanDan commenced when Danielle came to purchase a car from me while I was working for Jarvis Ford. The process was detailed and lengthy, and eventually she purchased her car and took delivery on the 29th of January, 2014. Between Danielle's mother and one of my work colleagues at the time, they established that we looked quite cute together... We continued to talk over the following days both about the car and otherwise, and Danielle asked me to join her and a friend for crepes. After the crepes, Danielle and I continued to talk, and drive (both things we immensely enjoy!) and soon it was nearly sunrise. From that day, things continued to blossom. We quickly established a close bond and found we ticked many of the "list" items off for each other. Over the years our relationship continued to grow and together we experienced holidays interstate, highs and lows of all aspects of our lives, and moving in together also. On the 8th of August 2016, after extensive planning, I asked Danielle to marry me at Windy Point Restaurant. Thankfully she said yes, hence I'm writing this today!"
